A 52-year-old man who had been incarcerated in Tutwiler, Mississippi, was being held Wednesday on sexual abuse charges in connection with complaints involving minor victims from 2011-2016, Scott County Court records show.
According to Scott County Court arrest affidavits, David Pai, who was arrested on a warrant, faces 13 felony charges, including six charges of second-degree sexual abuse, three charges of third-degree sexual abuse, two charges of child endangerment – bodily injury, and two charges of drug distribution to a person under 18, according to Scott County Court arrest affidavits.
A supplemental affidavit in Scott County Court says on or about Sept. 22, 2024, a report was filed with Bettendorrf Police alleging Pai 'sexually, physically, and emotionally' abused children between 2011-2016.
One victim was between the ages of 11-12 and the other 9-14, Scott County Court records say.
The victims reported that Pai hit them in the head with his hands, hit them with objects such as a broom stick, and deliberately hit their heads together. Also, the Scott County Court affidavit says Pai held down one minor, choked the victim, and flashed a Taser by a victim's head. Additionally, the report says Pai locked the victims in a dog kennel as a form of punishment.
Both victims said Pai gave them marijuana, according to Scott County Court documents.
One victim filed a report regarding similar sexual and physical abuse in Lamoille County, Vermont, according to an affidavit, which says from that investigation, Pai was 'arrested, convicted and incarcerated' for multiple offenses against a victim and the victim's mother.
According to Scott County affidavits, Pai was incarcerated through the Vermont Department of Corrections and was housed in a facility in Tutwiler, Mississippi.
Pai, who was being held Wednesday on a $75,000 bond in Scott County Jail, is scheduled for a preliminary hearing May 9 in Scott County Court.
In February, Pai was listed as a Crime Stoppers of the Quad Cities fugitive.
