The alleged boyfriend of a runaway teen girl who walked into a police station 1,000 miles away after going missing for four years has been hit with child sexual abuse charges.
Edmund Davis, the 36-year-old linked to Alicia Navarro who disappeared when she was 14, had child sex abuse material on his cell phone and was arrested on Monday afternoon, said Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen.
Dozens of images of suspected child sex abuse material were found on Davis’ phone, which was seized in a search warrant executed in Havre, Montana, earlier this year, the Montana Attorney General’s Office announced on Tuesday.
Havre police served the warrant on Davis’ apartment in July after finding that Navarro, who vanished from Glendale, Arizona, was living there.
When Navarro, now 18, opened the door, ‘officers observed Davis in the kitchen behind her throwing a cellphone into a trash can and placing items on top of the phone as if to hide it,’ stated the attorney general’s office.
