Artesia Man Charged with Child Pornography and Firearms Possession
Trevor Wright, a 50-year-old man from Artesia, New Mexico, has been charged with possession of child pornography and being a drug addict in possession of firearms.
According to a criminal complaint, on June 25, the FBI executed a search warrant on Wright’s residence in Artesia. Investigators allegedly found child pornography on one of Wright’s cellular telephones. They also located 15 firearms allegedly in Wright’s possession within the residence. As a drug addict, Wright cannot legally possess a firearm.
Wright made an initial appearance in federal court today facing charges of possession of child pornography and being a drug addict in possession of firearms. He will remain in custody pending a detention hearing scheduled for July 7.
A complaint is only an allegation. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. If convicted, Wright faces up to 20 years in prison.
The FBI Albuquerque’s Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force investigated this case with assistance from the Artesia Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jaymie L. Roybal and Sarah Mease are prosecuting this case.
Trevor Wright’s arrest is a stark reminder of the dangers of child exploitation and the importance of law enforcement agencies working together to combat these crimes.
As the Grimy Times continues to investigate this case, we will provide updates on any new developments.
