A 48-year-old man, who has claimed to be the antichrist, was sentenced on Thursday to eight years in prison for touching a young girl at Bath and Body Works in downtown San Luis Obispo.
Convicted child molester Jonathan Oscar Davis has been in and out of prison for more than two decades. Dubbed a violent felon, Davis had repeatedly touched young girls in stores in San Luis Obispo.
In 2001, Dacis was convicted of first-degree burglary, which is considered a violent felony.
In 2007, a judge found Davis guilty of annoying or molesting a child under the age of 18. The judge also required him to register as a sex offender.
In June 2018, Davis was arrested after he rubbed the hair of a 10-year-old girl inside Sephora in downtown SLO. Officers then received four more reports of Davis touching other young girls in the downtown area.
During his 2019 trial, Davis told San Luis Obispo Judge Matthew Guerrero that his actual name was “the antichrist.” Guerrero then asked the defendant whether he had ever been known as Jonathan Oscar Davis.
“There is no such person,” Davis said. “There is only the antichrist, the son of Satan.”
On Aug. 19, 2023, Davis followed a 10-year-old girl into a store, grabbed her buttocks and attempted to pick her up. Davis pleaded guilty and was sentenced on Thursday to eight years in prison.
