Accused Kidnapper, Sex Trafficker Caught in Milford

On August 27, the Milford Police Department received a phone call from the Lawrence Police Department in Lawrence, Massachusetts.

They advised Milford Police that a female had been kidnapped and a ping of her cell phone put her in Milford in the area of Motel 6, 111 Schoolhouse Road, police said.

Lawrence Police Department had been notified by the female’s boyfriend who had received text messages from her stating she was being held against her will and treated like a sex slave, police said.

Investigation revealed Barry Davis, 36, of 7 Lord Baron Park Lane, Burlington MA, had picked up three women in Massachusetts and after several days of allegedly providing them with heroin and cocaine he drove them to Connecticut to act as prostitutes.

Two of the females had done this service before, stating they did it out of fear of Davis, Milford police said. The third female who made the text messages to her boyfriend was not a willing participant in the prostitution, which prompted the police action, police said.
