   ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) — A man wanted in connection with a 2008 sexual   
   assault in Asheville has been arrested in Georgia and is now being extradited   
   back to North Carolina.   
      
   On August 3, 2008, the Asheville Police Department received a report of a   
   sexual assault in the area of South French Broad Avenue. A sexual evidence kit   
   was collected but wasn’t sent to the state lab for testing due to stringent   
   standards in place for    
   testing at the time.

   Almost 10 years later, in March of 2018, after the State Bureau of   
   Investigation changed their minimum standards defining when a sexual assault   
   kit can be tested, the Asheville Police Department began auditing untested   
   sexual assault kits. Of the 573    
   untested kits, 275 meet the new minimum standards and were sent off for   
   testing.   
      
   One of those kits was from the 2008 sexual assault in the South French Broad   
   Avenue area.

   In November of 2018 APD was notified that the kit from the incident matched a   
   suspect's sample, Gerald Davis, in the FBI's Combined DNA Index System   
   (CODIS). Based on the evidence, APD charged Davis on December 11, 2018, with   
   Second Degree Forcible Rape.   
      
   Over two years later, on April 28, 2021, the Asheville Police Department says   
   Davis was located in Atlanta and is now being extradited back to North   
   Carolina.
