The Dayton Police Department opened an investigation after a woman reported Jan. 12 that her 16-year-old daughter had been sexually assaulted, according to an affidavit filed in Dayton Municipal Court.
During a forensic interview, the teen said she had been hanging out with Avery when he reportedly started waving a gun around.
“Jeremiah pointed the gun at her and said he would kill her, her mom and her brother,” the affidavit stated.
He then reportedly sexually assaulted her.
In the other case, Avery was accused of forcing the younger girl on Oct. 16, 2023, to engage in a sex act with him, according to the prosecutor’s office.
