KC man gets life in prison without parole for sodomizing victim with disability

A Kansas City man was sentenced to life in prison without parole Friday after he was found guilty earlier this year of sexually assaulting a victim with a mental disability, the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office said in a news release.

In May, a jury convicted Ronald Lee Davie, 63, of two sex crimes that included sodomy.

According to court records, a witness had told police in April 2017 that Davie had sexually assaulted the victim who has a mental disability. A forensic interview revealed the victim had been sodomized by Davie, the prosecutor’s office said.
