Registered Sex Offender from Camp Verde arrested for Possession of Child Pornography.

Recently, a registered Sex Offender was arrested for possession of Child Pornography. YCSO spokesman Dwight D’Evelyn says a detective discovered evidence that 45-year old Colby Strava, a registered sex offender from Rimrock, was in possession of child pornography. Earlier, Strava reported to another law enforcement agency that he was being scammed by unknown suspects who attempted to extort him for possessing and sending a photo of a nude female. During this aspect of the investigation, Stava gave consent to download his text messages. A video within the text messages was discovered containing images of a known pre-pubescent child victim as verified by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Based on the evidence discovered, the detective obtained a search warrant for Strava’s home, vehicle, and cell phone. Wednesday, Strava was located during a traffic stop and arrested. His cell phone was collected and when searched, a video depicting a sex act involving a child was found. The investigation then led to the search of two homes, one on Canal Circle in Camp Verde, and the other on Tonto Way in Rimrock. D’Evelyn says all evidence is still under review and could result in additional charges. Strava was booked into the Camp Verde Detention Center on a charge of Possession and Distribution of Child Exploitation Material. He remains in-custody on a $10,000 bond.
