SEDGWICK COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are investigating a suspect on felony charges involving a child and more.

According to a media release, Wichita State University learned Friday that the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Department had arrested a WSU student on a felony warrant.

The student identified as 28-year-old James Dayvault, according to the Sheriff’s Department booking report, was charged with exploitation of a child under 16, lewd and lascivious behavior and four counts of breach of privacy. He was jailed pending a $75,000 bond.

None of these alleged acts are believed to have occurred at WSU.

However, according to the University Police Department, it was also discovered after the accused was arrested that he was in possession of photos and / or videos taken under women’s skirts.

These photos / videos appear to have been taken on campus sometime in the past two years.
If you have information about one of these alleged on-campus acts or believe that you may have been a victim, contact WSU Police Detective Jeff Rider at 316-978-3450 or [email protected].
