Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow announced that Circuit Judge Vincent Cornelius denied a motion to reconsider sentence by Jeffery Davis, 33 of Joliet, who was sentenced recently to 40 years in prison for two counts of Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault, Class X felonies. Davis pleaded guilty to the offense on December 20, 2022. The child was seven-to-nine years old at the time of the sexual assaults, which took place during a two-year period from 2013 and 2015.
“Davis is a despicable human being, who preyed upon this young boy for his own sexual gratification,” Glasgow said. “The 40-year sentence will never make this victim whole but will ensure that Davis is off the streets as a dangerous child predator.”
Davis has been in the Will County Adult Detention Center since July 1, 2016, and will receive 2,606 days credit for time served. He will be subject to mandatory supervised release for a minimum of three years up to his natural life, based upon a subsequent determination by the Department of Corrections. The sentence will be served at 85 percent, and Davis will be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
