Police are searching for more possible victims after a 29-year-old man was charged with burglarizing and attempting to rape an 80-year-old woman and attempting to burglarize a 70-year-old woman, the New Castle County Police Department said on Monday. <\/p>\n
Davonso Davis, 29, was taken into custody in the early hours of Sunday morning after allegedly burglarizing and attempting to rape an 80-year-old woman, police said. <\/p>\n
The alleged incident took place at around 2:40 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 11, at the unit block of Arbor Avenue in the Overview Gardens section of New Castle, police said. <\/p>\n
Officers responding to the incident were able to take Davis into custody after arriving at the scene, police said. <\/p>\n
An investigation also found that Davis had sexually harassed a family member of the 80-year-old victim, police said. Investigators were also able to link Davis to an attempted burglary of a 70-year-old victim at the same block that occurred on Sept. 24, 2026. <\/p>\n
Davis was initially taken to the hospital after being taken into custody, but has since been arraigned and jailed with $100,300 bail, police said. He faces several charges, including felony burglary first degree, attempted rape second degree without consent, attempted burglary first degree and related charges. <\/p>\n
