Found Alive AZ - Alicia Navarro, 14, autistic, Glendale, 16 Sep 2019 *found in 2023* #2

[Andreee]

I'm assuming that charge is about AN.

Totally agree. I cannot imagine what sort of horrible things she must've endured at the hands of this rotten potato of a man.

I read today that the charges are unrelated to AN.

Boyfriend of Alicia Navarro, teen found 4 years after vanishing, charged with child sexual abuse

Edmund Davis, 36, was arrested in Montana after explicit images were found on his cellphone, officials said.

I didnt like that an earlier poster said she assumed the charges had to do with AN. So this article clears that up.

Has anybody been able to find any trial dates etc? I can’t find anything newer than 11/2023

The local news seemed to have the most details following his Nov 2023 hearing:

Davis pleads not guilty on child sex abuse charges

Havre Daily News staff A man who was living with a young woman in Havre when she notified authorities she was the one who went missing as a child four years earlier in Arizona pleaded not guilty today to two unrelated felony counts of sexual abuse of children. Edmund Davis Harris, who was 36...

Bond hearing reserved, Dec. 22 filing deadline

[..]

Edmund Davis Harris, who was 36 when he was charged in October, entered his pleas of not guilty before state District Judge Kaydee Snipes Ruiz in District Court in Havre.

After Davis' attorney Casey Moore requested time to talk to the prosecution and other parties about bond, Snipes Ruiz reserved the issue of a motion on changing bond.

Davis, who entered his plea via video from Hill County Detention Center, was being held this morning on $1 million bond.

Snipes Ruiz set Dec. 22 as the deadline for omnibus motions.

Special Deputy Attorney Daniel Guzynski, who is representing the state as lead prosecutor, also asked for confirmation that Davis had discussed the potential penalties with his attorney, which Moore said they have discussed.

The first charge, for possessing electronic communication images of a child or children 12 or younger, carries a minimum 100-year prison sentence, 25 of which may not be suspended or deferred, and the second charge, for possessing images of children younger than 16, can result in imprisonment for life with a minimum sentence of four years.

Davis was arrested in Chinook Oct. 23 by Blaine County Sheriff's Office personnel and agents from the Montana Department of Justice's Division of Criminal Investigation.

A press release from the Montana Attorney General's Office said charges were filed under seal the previous week to help ensure a safe arrest.

I saw that, but it’s from last November

I imagine ED had the bond reduction hearing on Dec 22, and that failed. Not much incentive to reduce bond when the defendant is facing a MIMINUM 100 YEAR sentence! That alone makes for a def flight risk in NA country. JMO

The 36-year-old boyfriend of a teenage girl who went missing in 2019 has been charged with two felony counts of sexual abuse of children “resulting from child sexual abuse material found on his cell phone,” Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen announced Tuesday.

Edmund Davis was arrested Monday afternoon in Chinook, Montana. The material was allegedly found on a cellphone he tossed into a garbage can during a police search of his home on July 26, according to charging documents filed in Hill County District Court.

The cache of material included photos of infants, toddlers, and “prepubescent” children, at least one of whom was in bondage gear, the documents state. There “were also a multitude of pictures found that are computer generated or animated content showing apparent children being sexualized,” the documents say

From the 10/2/24 MSM quoted post:

Sentencing is scheduled for December 16, 2024.

Prosecutors have asked the court to sentence Davis to the Montana State Prison for 100 years, with 50 of the years suspended; and a 25-year parole restriction.

I believe these charges have nothing to do with AN and he could still face federal charges for her case. Celebrating this man will not likely ever see freedom again for the remainder of his natural life. JMO

I hope that Alicia and her family are doing well and are receiving counseling services.

Right, and hope he still gets charges for AN's case. Fifty years suspended, kinda weird to me how they do that, but like you say, he is likely imprisoned for rest of his life. Where he needs to be!

RBBM: I was under the impression that he was already facing federal charges for bringing AN across state lines?

 

[SherryLock]

RBBM: I was under the impression that he was already facing federal charges for bringing AN across state lines?

My understanding is that the charges are for the child *advertiser censored* only, completely separate from AN. If I recall correctly, there are no charges against him concerning AN because AN was an adult when found with him, and she said he didn't have anything to do with her before she was of adult age. I could be wrong, though. It's been a while.

I think I've forgotten some of the details as well. Hard to believe the way this has turned out considering AN was a child, a minor for so long prior to being located. MOO.

There have been no charges, State or Federal, filed against the perp for crimes involving AN.
