GoogleDavid Wayne Phillips, 43, will appear in General Sessions court on July 31, when he could be bound over to the Bedford County grand jury.
Phillips is charged with rape of a child, two counts of aggravated sexual battery and four violations of the sex offender registry and is being held under a bond of $760,000.
Bedford County investigators had been searching for Phillips since December of last year after he allegedly failed to report in, as he was required to do four times a year as a registered sex offender.
According to Detective Becky Hord, Phillips was added to the offender registry in 2004 for two counts of sexual battery and one count of aggravated sexual battery involving minors that occurred in Marshall County.
Warrants filed by Hord claim that in February of this year while Phillips was working for a local trucking firm, he allegedly allowed a child to ride in the truck.
While the child was in the vehicle, Phillips allegedly committed two sexual acts leading to the charges of rape of a child.
The two counts of aggravated sexual battery stem from alleged incidents involving two children in Shelbyville in which Phillips is charged with touching the pair.
The four counts of violating the sex offender registry are due to his allegedly failing to report changes of living arrangements, providing false information about his whereabouts and violating his residential restrictions by living with two children.
Phillips was picked up in Mississippi on the warrants at the end of March, was held there for nearly a week and then transported to Bedford County, where he made bond.
Phillips then allegedly gave Hord another address in Shelbyville, which the detective said was also false. But then Hord said she got a call from a Bedford County parent who believed that Phillips may have "done something to my children."
The parent told Hord that Phillips had stayed with the family "and kept my children for me." Hord also stated that the parent had "no idea" that the children were in any danger.
Hord interviewed the children and learned that Phillips would allegedly take the children for rides in the truck he drove and even rented a hotel room in Shelbyville to stay with the kids, "but nothing happened there," Hord said.
However, the children did tell Hord about other incidents and the detective said that when Phillips was confronted with the accusations made by the children, he allegedly wrote a three-page confession.

Where is the picture of Mr. Phillips? Moms and Dads need to see!
I pulled up the Sex Offenders registry off of tn.gov website and there are 90 offenders of which Mr. Phillips is not shown in Bedford County. scary!!
I agree. Another site you can use is http://www.familywatchdog.us which will provide you with a map and it dots out where the offenders work/live,etc and exactly how close they are to you. I found this site after moving to our new house and doing a search on the TN site and not finding anyone until after we bought the house and moved in and found out that there is one down the street from us. I think if it is a crime against children, the offender's photos should be plastered everywhere so parent's can see. Also, you have to remember that the laws protect those who committed their crimes before a certain year. So there some sex offenders that you will not know about unless you are a police officer because they are the only ones that have access to the "hidden files".
I found him. He is on the list in Manchester. But with a address in Shelbyville. You would think he would also be listed on Bedford County. Here is the link to it. Also has a picture of him on their. http://www.ticic.state.tn.us/sorinternet...
I thought it was ironical the the David Phillips listed above him lived on Fruit Loop Dr.
I used to work with David, and he did live in Shelbyville for several years. He actually lived around the Halls Mill area. If it had not been for the TN Sex offender website I would have never known he had been convicted of rape the first time. Another girl I worked with actually found him on there and told us to be careful about showing him pictures of our kids and what not. Needless to say I never showed him another picture of her ever again. You just don't ever know, like I said I was clueless that he was a sex offender let alone a child sex offender until she found him on the TN Sex Offender website. Parents PLEASE check these sites out who knows you may have one living next door...
As people of faith, we need to fall on our faces and pray for our community and leaders. Great things can happen when we turn to God in unity. I pray that the Lord delivers us from this evil. If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
No offense, tbb61, but some people like this scum, cannot be helped. He was given a chance, that is why he was let out, but he offended once again. I do believe that some people can be helped, but not of them. And when it is a crime against children, there is no forgiveness.
