Former LDS leader’s trial begins Monday

(ABC 6 News) – Michael Adam Davis will face trial in Dodge County next week.

Davis, 37, faces multiple charges for allegedly sexually assaulting a juvenile in Dodge County, while he served as a men’s leader at the Church of Latter-Day Saints in Kasson.

Davis faces two charges of felony 1st-degree criminal sexual conduct with a teen under his authority, two counts of 2nd-degree criminal sexual conduct with a teen under his authority, and one charge of indecent exposure in the presence of a minor.

In May 2021 Davis pleaded not guilty.

He is a lifetime registered sex offender due to a previous conviction in Utah involving a minor.

Jury selection for the trial is expected to begin Monday, May 9.
