A 26-year-old Washington, D.C. man has pleaded guilty to felony charges related to the attempted abduction and rape of a woman in Alexandria’s Potomac Yard neighborhood.
Dykwon Perry Davis pleaded guilty in Alexandria Circuit Court on August 7, 2025, to abduction with the intent to defile and attempted rape for the incident, which occurred on February 3, 2024. He faces up to life in prison for the abduction charge, and a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison for the rape charge, according to a press release from Commonwealth’s Attorney Bryan Porter.
“The defendant has now been convicted of serious criminal offenses, and my office will seek a significant sentence of active incarceration,” Porter said.
As previously reported, the incident occurred on the 2200 block of Main Line Boulevard. According to the police scanner, the victim called the police and said that after parking her car, an unknown man attacked her and tried to pull her into an alley.
The man allegedly tried to take her pants off, but the woman was able to fight him off.
There is no plea agreement, and the prosecution is free to argue for any “appropriate” sentence, Porter said.
Porter thanked Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares and his office for assisting in the prosecution of the case, as well as the U.S. Attorney’s Offices for the Eastern District of Virginia and the District of Columbia, the Alexandria Police Department, and the Metro Transit Police Department.
“My Office’s Major Crimes and Emerging Threats Division was proud to work alongside Alexandria Commonwealth’s Attorney Bryan Porter and his team to ensure this defendant was held accountable for this brutal, violent abduction and attack,” Miyares said. “I commend the work of the Alexandria Police Department, the Metro Transit Police, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia and the Eastern District of Virginia for their efforts in apprehending and investigating this case. When local, state, and federal law enforcement work together to deliver justice, our communities are safer.”
Davis is being held without bond in the city jail and is scheduled to be sentenced on November 20, 2025.
