An attorney celebrated by the Obama White House for campaigning against violence toward women is now facing nine criminal charges over an alleged yearlong campaign of abuse and intimidation against his girlfriend.
You cannot make this up.
Cody McDavis, 32, the 6-foot-8 former University of Northern Colorado basketball standout who later earned a law degree from UCLA and joined the firm Vedder Price, was charged on July 20 with six felony counts and three misdemeanors.
Prosecutors in Los Angeles County Superior Court allege he “willfully, maliciously, and repeatedly” followed and harassed his girlfriend from July 2025 through June 2026, leaving her in fear for her safety and that of her family, according to the criminal complaint reviewed by the New York Post.
The charges include three felony counts of inflicting corporal injury, two for stalking, one for attempting to prevent her from pursuing prosecution, and three misdemeanor counts of violating a protective order.
Recommended bail is $550,000. He is scheduled to be arraigned September 2.
This is the same Cody McDavis who was celebrated by the Obama-Biden White House as a “Champion of Change” for his work on the “It’s On Us” campaign, the Obama administration’s signature effort to combat sexual assault on college campuses.
He was profiled in Sports Illustrated for pushing the NCAA’s Power Five conferences to ban athletes with histories of violence. He launched a Change.org petition that gathered more than 280,000 signatures.
He worked with rape survivor and activist Brenda Tracy on the so-called “Tracy Rule.” He was named a Solidarity Honoree for standing against gender-based violence.
In acceptance speeches he thundered about how sick it made him when women were “shoved down” for speaking out.

if obama had a son ...
Come on guys? Have YOU quit beating your wife lately?
This guy had a GIRLFRIEND???
One thing is sure, 0bongo never raised a hand to Moochelle ... and we all know why. :D
Sounds like this guy may have qualified as Obama’s son, even if he really wasn’t. Could this guy possibly lead to more charges against Obama? It bugs me that Obama is still running loose. He should have been jailed sometime ago in my opinion.
But you can repeat it. Bill Clinton and Ted Kennedy championed The Violence Against Women Act in 1994.
Looks gay....
Was that wrong?
Should he not have done that?
OH congressman is in dispute with wife and father-in-law who is Senator. On all sides there are humans who are sinners.
Tread carefully.
Never get involved with another family’s disputes. Even cops don’t like to do that.................
Dollars to donuts the GF is a white chick.
Odumbo hits one outta the park again!
