SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 21– Joel Davis was a
founder of "Youth to End
Sexual Violence in 2014, which
grew out of 2014 global summit
meeting on sexual violence
organized in part by Angelina
Jolie, actress and United
Nations special envoy on the
topic.
Joel Davis was invited to give
a speech at the UN Commission
on the Status of Women, it was
said at his sentencing on June
21, 2021. Inner City Press
asked UNSG Antonio Guterres'
spokesman Stephane Dujarric -
no answer.
In 2018 Joel
Davis was charged with
pedophilia, with the US
Attorney's press release
citing a nine year old and
even a toddler.
On January
16 Joel Davis pled guilty to
reduced charges, involving a
15-year old. U.S. District
Court of the Southern District
of New York Judge George B.
Daniels asked Joel Davis to
say in his own words what he
did.
Joel
Davis said that he had been
arranging for adult sex
through Grindr when he
arranged to have sex with a
15-year whom he thought was
older but knew to be less than
18, a crime. His allocution
did not mention any 9 year old
or toddler.
Joel Davis
apologized to the Court, but
also said that in his year and
a half so far in jail he has
been "fighting invisible wars"
with himself. He said "there
are categories of violence,
but no categories of victims."
He was a student at Columbia
University; he told Judge
Daniels his education had gone
until "senior year of
college."
His Federal
Defender pointed out an error
in the plea agreement about
the mandatory term of
supervised release. Assistant
US Attorney Juliana Murray
acknowledged the mistake and
said it would be corrected.
The sentencing
was set for May 7, 20202 (then
delayed) and Inner City Press
which was the only media in
Judge Daniels' courtroom for
the guilty plea covered the
sentencing when it finally
happened on June 21, 2021.
It
was described how Joel Davis
spoke at the UN. He was
sentenced to 13 years. Inner
City Press asked in writing
Antonio Guterres, Amina J.
Mohammed, Melissa Fleming and
Stephane Dujarric: "What are
the comments and actions if
any of SG Guterres on that on
June 22, 2021 Joel Davis was
sentenced by SDNY court to 13
years for child sex abuse and
trafficking after being
invited to give a speech at
the UN Commission on the
Status of Women in March
2018?"
No answer, just
like these officials refused
to answer on Ghislaine Maxwell
having a press conference in
the UN.
This case is US
v. Davis, 18-cr-685
(Daniels).
