text: A man convicted of a 2015 window peeping incident in Grand Rapids is now accused of sexually assaulting women in two separate incidents. 
   
   Xavier Jajuan Davis, 31, was arraigned earlier this week on three counts of criminal sexual conduct. He is being held in the Kent County Jail on a $400,000 bond. 
   
   Tips generated from a composite drawing released by police earlier this month led to his arrest. 
   
   Davis is charged with second-degree criminal sexual conduct for an Oct. 25 incident at 303 Monroe Avenue NW, which is the address of DeVos Place. Davis lists his employer as DeVos Place, court records show. 
   
   Details of the assault have not been released. 
   
   He also faces two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, a potential life offense, for a Dec. 28th incident on Oak Park Drive west of Kalamazoo Avenue SE. Details of that case also have not been disclosed. 
   
   A probable cause hearing on both cases is set for Jan. 30 in Grand Rapids District Court. 
   
   Davis has a 2012 home invasion conviction in Ottawa County. He was charged in that case after his arrest for a window peeping incident near Grand Valley State University. 
   
   Davis was again accused of window peeping for incidents that occurred over the span of several weeks near downtown Grand Rapids in 2015. His image was caught by surveillance video at a home on East Fulton Street. 
   
   Davis was convicted of disorderly person-window peeping and sentenced to several months in the Kent County Jail. Court documents at the time indicated that Davis was a suspect in other window peeping incidents in which college-age women were targeted.

   GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A man arrested and held in jail for 129 days before he was cleared on sexual assault charges is suing the City of Grand Rapids and three members of the police department. 
   
   The lawsuit claims police targeted a man and refused to release him even after they had proof he was not their suspect. 
   
   The 24-page complaint filed in Grand Rapids Federal Court Friday details what Xavier Davis says were violations of his rights that include unlawful imprisonment, arrest and prosecution. 
   
   In January, Davis was featured in media stories when he was arrested for a publicized sexual assault in Grand Rapids 
   
   “It was all over social media, Internet,” said Davis 
   
   A Grand Rapids woman said she was the victim of a sexual assault at gunpoint around 1:30 a.m. on Dec. 28 in the 4200 block of Oak Park Drive SE. 
   
   Police put out a sketch looking for tips and say the victim identified Davis from a photo lineup, which was enough to lead police to arrest Davis as he was at the bus station on Jan. 14. 
   
   “The worst part for me, I think, is still reliving, I have dreams and stuff, of how the arrest went down at the bus station,” Davis said. 
   
   In January, Davis strongly denied the charges, saying he was nowhere near where the assault occurred. 
   
   “Hey, what are you guys gonna do when you realize you’ve messed up? Basically telling them on-camera in the interrogation that you guys are gonna be sued after this if you don’t fix this,” Davis told police during his interrogation. 
   
   Davis had a criminal past that included time in prison in 2012 for a home invasion and three months in jail in 2015 for a window peeping charge. 
   
   Xavier would remain in jail through May, even as evidence came in in March that included cell phone and Uber records that indicated he was not at the scene, and DNA tests showed it was someone else’s DNA evidence at the scene. 
   
   “When they had what’s called exculpatory evidence, they sat on it. A lot of this information – Uber records, cell phone records, DNA records – they had by the latest, the end of March,” Davis said. 
   
   The lawsuit says it was this failure to release that is the most damning. 
   
   “Where the false imprisonment, wrongful imprisonment will come in is because they had the information and did nothing with it,” Davis said. 
   
   While in jail, Davis was assaulted and had to be put in protective custody. 
   
   He lost his two jobs, his home and after he was released had to spend time in a homeless shelter. 
   
   “When the judge signed the PR bond, I was overwhelmed with excitement but at the same time I was nervous, what are people gonna think, what are people gonna say,” Davis said. 
   
   Davis has been able to get a new job and a new place to live. 
   
   He is seeking an undetermined amount of damages. 
   
   The city said Sunday it had not yet been served with the lawsuit. Once it is, it has 21 days to respond. ||||| GRAND RAPIDS, MI - A man accused of sexually assaulting two women, including one at gunpoint, has filed a federal lawsuit after DNA evidence failed to link him to the crimes. 
   
   Xavier Jajuan Davis of Grand Rapids contends he was suspected based on a police sketch that he says bears little resemblance to him. 
   
   "I'm telling them, 'You have the wrong person. There's gotta be a mistake. You guys are making a mistake,'" Davis, 32, told MLive/The Grand Rapids Press. 
   
   "For whatever reason, they decided Xavier Davis was the guy," his attorney, Mark Linton said. 
   
   "They just seemed to have it out for him." 
   
   Charges dropped against man accused of sexually assaulting woman at gunpoint 
   
   The Police Department said: "As is the case with any lawsuit against the police department or an officer acting in the capacity of his or her duties, all inquiries will be forwarded to the City Attorney's Office." 
   
   The city has not yet been served with the lawsuit, Assistant City Attorney Kristen Rewa said. 
   
   Davis is suing the city and three investigators. 
   
   He said he was under investigation, but not charged, in a burglary and arson when he was arrested for the gunpoint rape. He contends police convinced the woman that he was responsible based on a police sketch. 
   
   He says that investigators learned beginning in February that Davis was not in the area of the armed sex assault and that DNA tests excluded him as the suspect. Phone records and Uber records also supported his case, he said. He was released from jail, and placed on electronic tether, on May 22. 
   
   "Defendants knew or should have known that there was not probable cause to arrest and charge Mr. Davis, causing him to be held in jail for 129 days and then placed on a tether for another 61 days," Linton wrote in the lawsuit. 
   
   "The actions of Defendants in light of this knowledge were extreme and outrageous." 
   
   Once he got out of jail, Davis was evicted from his rental home and lost jobs at DeVos Place and The B.O.B., he said. 
   
   Charges were dropped just as Davis was set for trial July 23 in Kent County Circuit Court. 
   
   Kent County Prosecutor Chris Becker said "witness issues" and a lack of a DNA match led to the dismissal in the case involving the gun. An unrelated sex-assault case was also dropped. 
   
   Davis says he became a suspect in the sex assault in 2017 after he complained to city officials that he was unfairly targeted in the burglary and arson. He said he was at work when the crimes occurred. 
   
   He said Detective Adam Bayliss was upset and told him he was only doing his job. 
   
   Lt. Kristen Rogers then told Davis that the burglary and arson cases had been closed, the lawsuit said. Detective Kevin Snyder, however, suggested to Rogers that police obtain a DNA sample from Davis to determine if it matched evidence found at the rape scene, the lawsuit said. 
   
   Davis had been in trouble before. He was sentenced in 2012 to 15 months in prison for attempted home invasion and has twice been convicted of window peeping. 
   
   On Jan. 14, Davis was arrested by U.S. Marshals at the Greyhound bus station. He was told he was arrested for multiple sex-assault charges. Detectives questioned him and obtained a DNA sample. 
   
   Linton said that the "primary basis for having Mr. Davis publicly arrested was that the officers compared his picture to a sketch draft based on a description (by) the victim in a rape case ... ." 
   
   He said that the victim could not identify her attacker but after suggestions by police agreed that it could have been Davis. The victim in that case was raped during the early morning Dec. 28 in her parked car on Kalamazoo Avenue SE. 
   
   At his Jan. 17 arraignment, Davis was also charged with an unrelated sexual assault that happened at DeVos Place. The victim told police that a worker sexually assaulted her in a utility room, the lawsuit said. 
   
   Davis was suspected after a detective recalled that Davis worked at DeVos Place. But Davis started working there a month after the assault was reported, his attorney said. 
   
   The lawsuit contends that Snyder "unduly coerced" the victim in the DeVos Place to agree it was possible Davis committed the assault. 
   
   "Despite having clear exculpatory evidence for the rape case dating back to February of 2018, the charges against Mr. Davis were not dismissed until July 23, 2018," Linton wrote in the lawsuit. 
   
   Davis, once held on $400,000 bond, was assaulted at the Kent County Jail shortly after his arrest and put into a one-man cell for his safety, the lawsuit said. 
   
   His case was reported in local media. His booking photo and the police sketch were put on Grand Rapids Police Department's Facebook page, the lawsuit said. 
   
   Allegations in the lawsuit include malicious prosecution, defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress and false imprisonment.
target: – "For whatever reason, they decided Xavier Davis was the guy." That from the lawyer for 31-year-old Davis, arrested in January as the suspect in a sexual assault in Grand Rapids, Mich. The problem: DNA evidence and Uber and phone records showed Davis wasn't the guy, and charges against him were dropped in July, per MLive.com. Before that, though, he was in prison for 129 days, then attached to an e-tether for two months, and now he's suing the City of Grand Rapids and three cops for false imprisonment and defamation, among other allegations, per WOOD. "I'm telling them, 'You have the wrong person,'" Davis says of his arrest, which he says was based on a sketch that doesn't even look like him; WZZM has a picture of it. It gets a bit complicated: Davis was already under investigation for a burglary and arson when he was arrested for the rape of a woman in her car in late December. At his January arraignment, Davis—who was sent to prison for more than a year in 2012 for a home invasion and also has been convicted of window peeping—was then charged with another sexual assault at his workplace, though his lawyer says he started working there after the assault report. In both cases, Davis contends police led the victims to believe he was their attacker, and that even after the DNA and other evidence started to surface in February showing he wasn't in the car case, he was still incarcerated for months. He also says his face and name were plastered everywhere after his arrest, and he lost his two jobs and was evicted from his home after he got out of jail, per WOOD. He said he told cops during his initial questioning: "You guys are gonna be sued after this if you don't fix this." Charges in both cases were dropped, and WOOD notes Davis has since secured a new job and place to live. (Cops hope DNA will lead them to the Zodiac Killer.)
