Raymond Davis Poker Player Arrested

Longtime poker pro Raymond Davis has never refrained from speaking his mind. Now, he is proclaiming his innocence from a jail in Las Vegas as he faces nine counts of sex-related crimes involving minors.

The entire tale is a sordid one, including minors, allegations of blackmail and judicial bias, a longtime unserved warrant, and inappropriate courtroom behavior.

Davis now sits in the Las Vegas jail, unable to raise the money needed for his new bail set at $500K. And while he participated in an interview from jail to declare his innocence, others have uncovered information that could be construed as incriminating evidence.

Who is Raymond Davis?

For newer players and fans in poker, Raymond Davis may not be a familiar name. His presence in poker was more noticeable during the poker boom and in the initial ensuing years.

The Wisconsin-born man spent much of his youth in Milwaukee and then served four years in the United States Army before being discharged. Davis then lived in Seattle for a decade before moving to Los Angeles. He still has a home there but claims to also have a home in Las Vegas.

Working as a professional poker player, Davis also says he is the founder of Real Grinders. He is listed on its team of pros, so his role in the company remains a bit unclear. However, he shares the team pro label with players like Todd Brunson, Johnny Chan, Dan Heimiller, Jeff Madsen, Mike Matusow, Jeff Lisandro, and Paul Darden as team pros.

Real Grinders did have a significant presence at the 2018 WSOP.

The Real Grinders Facebook page is still very active and currently boasts of more than 18K members.

As for Davis’ live poker tournament record, his Hendon Mob page shows more than $1.6 million in lifetime earnings. His poker skills were nurtured by mentors like John Bonetti and Phil Ivey.

Entries date back to 2002 and include numerous wins of small tournaments, as well as a significant win at the 2004 Legends of Poker. He has had some deep runs in events like the WSOP and World Poker Tour (WPT) since then.

2016 Warrant, 2019 Arrest

According to KLAS 8 News Now in Las Vegas, a warrant was issued in September 2016 for his arrest. But he didn’t get arrested until April 2019 when he was pulled over by the local police for a traffic violation.

The reason for the years-delayed arrest is unclear, as Davis claims he was “very high-profile.” He said the authorities never went to his house or his Real Grinders store in Las Vegas, any casino or other locations that he frequented.

Davis claims he would’ve gone to the courthouse and turned himself in if he had known.

Regardless, his original April 2019 arrest came with a $25K bond, and he posted it. However, he went to court and tried to represent himself, and that did not go well.

In fact, Davis’ actions in front of Judge Jacqueline Bluth were evidently so inappropriate, including making allegations against the judge and prosecutor, that he was taken into custody again. It also resulted in his bail being raised to $500K.

Prosecutor Stacey Kollins claims Davis has lived under several aliases (Davey Davis, Greg Johnson, David Prince, David Robbins, Jack Robertson), but Davis denies this. He claims the prosecutor is biased against him.

Nine Charges

Davis faces nine charges involving sex crimes against children. KLAS reported, “Metro Police say an underage girl claimed he paid her for oral sex at his home on several occasions after they met on Facebook. AT one point, her friend said he paid them to take a shower while he watched.”

Three charges apply to felony offenses and six listed as gross misdemeanors. The list of charges that date back to time before 2014 includes sexual assault against a child under the age of 14 and gross lewdness in the first degree. The minors at the center of the charges against Davis are 14 and 16.

Reporter Vanessa Murphy interviewed Davis at the Las Vegas jail, and he denied the charges. “I have been to massage parlors; I admit that. I have picked up girls off of Craigslist; I admit that. But I have never, never in my life paid a girl, an underage woman, girl for sex.”

(Note: An underage female is a girl, not a woman.)

Raymond Davis Poker Arrested

Davis’ criminal record shows convictions for three felonies, which is part of the reason he is being held on such high bond, in addition to his actions in court.

Past Charges

The forum on Poker Fraud Alert offers more information, though it has not been independently confirmed.

(Warning: The forum contains offensive language about mentally-challenged people, women, and rape.)

One set of charges stems from an incident more than a decade before this one. Davis was charged with first-degree kidnapping and molestation of a mentally-retarded minor. Those charges were dismissed in 2004, though, reportedly on the basis of the victim being unwilling or unable to testify.

We are attempting to find information on the past felony convictions mentioned by the prosecutor. Criminal conduct supposedly dates back to 1986, with charges filed in Wisconsin, California, Washington, and Nevada.

Prominent Las Vegas poker pro Raymond Davis has reached a plea deal with Nevada authorities to resolve sex-related charges that could have resulted in a lengthy prison stint. Instead, after already spending more than a year behind bars, he has been released with a time-served sentence, though he could still face a one-to-six-year term should he fail to adhere to the conditions of his release.

Davis’s saga dates back several years. The founder of the RealGrinders poker players group was arrested in April 2019 on an open warrant issued in 2016 that went unfilled despite Davis’s relatively high profile in the Las Vegas gambling community. The criminal complaint against Davis involved multiple activities of sexual activity with three minors, the primary accuser being under age 14, with the activity having occurred in 2014 and 2015.

Davis was alleged by the primary victim, then 13, to have paid cash and offered other financial aid in exchange for oral sex and other lewd activities. Investigators ultimately filed nine felony charges against Davis, though none of the agencies involved have ever made a statement as to why Davis remained free -- and highly visible on the Vegas scene -- for nearly three years.

Once in custody, Davis’s own behavior made a bad situation worse. Originally freed on $25,000 bond, Davis was remanded on a much higher $500,000 bond after repeated courtroom outbursts and violations. Davis also fired multiple attorneys and unsuccessfully sought to represent himself, as a court-ordered public defender eventually provided formal representation.

Meanwhile, according to multiple reports, Davis turned down a plea deal on multiple occasions, though when his trial began earlier this month and the evidence began to be presented, he changed his mind and accepted the offer. Rather than battle the nine charges, which included included three counts of sexual assault of a minor under the age of 14, two counts of lewdness with a child under the age of 14, and other chargeable acts, Davis instead pled guilty to a felony coercion charge (with no sexual behavior element) and a misdemeanor count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Within days of being freed, Davis posted a statement via the 17,000-member RealGrinders Facebook group, where he has resumed admin duties. In the statement, Davis continued to profess his innocence while claiming the jury was stacked against him -- it reportedly contained only one black juror -- and that he had no choice to take the deal.

Davis’s statement and return to the RealGrinders scene led to a strange sidebar in the saga involving another poker-world veteran, Terry King. King had been a longtime friend of Davis’s and had held an admin role in the RealGrinders group. King recounted how she had helped Davis with thousands of dollars in legal fees and cared for his pets while Davis was jailed, though she claimed Davis ultimately accused her of theft, and the friendship ended bitterly. King wrote, “He swore he was innocent, he said he vaguely remembered an extortion plot years ago,” in reference to the underaged girl at the heart of the criminal complaint against Davis.
