Davis, a divorced mother of three, faces four felony counts of lewd acts on a child younger than 14 and four of unlawful sexual intercourse with the second boy, three misdemeanor counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, plus a sentencing enhancement allegation of substantial sexual conduct with a child.
