MOBILE, AL. A Georgia man posing as a teenager to lure an Alabama 14-year-old girl to Georgia has been arrested.
Police were made aware of this by the teenager and began an investigation.
The victim told police that they had communicated over social media for months and were in a relationship. He reportedly told her that he had just turned 16.
But law enforcement found that the Georgia teenager was a 44-year-old man who pretended to be a teen boy to lure the young girl to his home.
The Valdosta Police Department said law enforcement officials on Thursday went to a Valdosta residence where they found the runaway child from Alabama along with Scott Daniel Davis, the man they say lured her to his home.
Someone reportedly saw the girl getting into a vehicle that was eventually spotted in Davis’ driveway in Georgia. When police detectives arrived at the residence, they found Davis and the missing juvenile in the backyard.
Davis was detained, and the girl was safely recovered, police said.
Detectives determined that the juvenile had been communicating with Davis on social media for months, police said. Davis at first told the victim that he was 15 years old and that he had subsequently turned 16 in September, they said.
The victim believed that Davis was 16 and stated that they were in a relationship, police said.
The victim told detectives that on October 6th, 2025, Davis traveled to Mobile, where he picked her up and drove her back to Valdosta, investigators said.
Police learned during their investigation that when the teen arrived in Georgia, she and Davis stayed at a hotel before going to the home where Davis lived but that he hid her from family and friends by setting up a tent in the woods in his backyard.
Davis is being held at Lowndes County Jail. He has been charged with two counts of aggravated child molestation-felony, aggravated sexual battery-felony, interstate interference with child custody-felony, and child molestation-felony, police said.
Because Davis crossed state lines, federal law enforcement may seek a federal indictment against Davis.
Police said that the girl has been reunited with her mother.
