Former Waterloo firefighter pleads no contest to sexual assault charges

OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - A former Waterloo firefighter pleaded no contest to three counts of third-degree sexual assault Tuesday.

As a requirement of the plea agreement, Tyler Davidson will be sentenced in Douglas County Court to four years probation and be required to register as a sex offender.

His bond was also revoked, effective at 11 a.m. Wednesday, and Davidson will remain jailed until formal sentencing on May 21, amounting to “time served” in addition to the other plea agreements.

According to court documents, Davidson allegedly bought sex toys for a 13-year-old boy and encouraged him to use them. He was arrested last February. He was terminated as a member of the Waterloo Fire and Rescue Department in December 2019.
