An investigation into serious allegations against an Oklahoma County official has concluded without criminal charges. Authorities reviewed claims involving sexual battery and harassment against a county commissioner, but prosecutors determined there was not enough evidence to move forward with a criminal case. The decision follows months of investigation and review by law enforcement and the state attorney general’s office.
Oklahoma County Commissioner Will Not Face Criminal Charges
Oklahoma County Commissioner Myles Davidson will not face criminal charges after an investigation into allegations of sexual battery and harassment.
The decision was announced after the Oklahoma Attorney General’s Office reviewed evidence collected by the Oklahoma City Police Department.
According to officials, the investigation did not produce sufficient evidence to support filing criminal charges against Davidson.
Investigation Reviewed by Attorney General’s Office
The case had been under investigation for several months following accusations made against the commissioner.
Initially, the Oklahoma City Police Department conducted the investigation. However, the review of the case was later transferred to the Oklahoma Attorney General’s Office.
This change happened after Oklahoma County District Attorney Vicki Behenna recused herself from the case.
After reviewing the police findings, the attorney general’s office concluded that the available evidence did not meet the legal threshold required to pursue criminal charges.
Attorney General’s Office Statement
A spokesperson for the attorney general confirmed the decision after examining the investigative report.
Officials stated that the review included all materials gathered during the police investigation.
Key details from the decision:
| Case Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Person investigated | Oklahoma County Commissioner Myles Davidson |
| Allegations | Sexual battery and harassment |
| Investigating agency | Oklahoma City Police Department |
| Case review | Oklahoma Attorney General’s Office |
| Outcome | No criminal charges filed |
Authorities emphasized that the decision was based on the lack of sufficient evidence to proceed with prosecution.
Defense Attorney Responds to Decision
Following the announcement, Davidson’s attorney issued a statement defending the commissioner and welcoming the outcome of the investigation.
Defense attorney Ed Blau said the allegations had no merit and expressed appreciation for the attorney general’s office reviewing the case.
According to Blau, Davidson and his family are relieved that the investigation has concluded.
Throughout the process, Davidson’s legal team maintained that the accusations were unfounded.
Case Followed Months of Investigation
The investigation began after allegations of sexual battery involving the commissioner were reported.
Police collected information and conducted interviews as part of the inquiry before submitting their findings for review.
Because the local district attorney recused herself from the case, the responsibility for evaluating the evidence was transferred to the state attorney general’s office.
After completing its review, prosecutors decided that criminal charges could not be supported based on the available evidence.
