A Camp Verde man has been arrested and booked into the Yavapai County Jail charged with 13 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor in a case of child sexual abuse material. Detective Bob Ragsdale says the case was initiated by the Phoenix Police Department Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, which identified a location in the Verde Valley from which child pornographic images were being Internet-traded.

Ragsdale said the unit has a full complement of detectives knowledgeable in the computer investigation of child porn.
The Task Force investigates crime reports from citizens as well as proactive investigations by undercover on-line, Internet detectives and referrals from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's Cybertip Line. Task force members assist other law enforcement agencies by providing investigative support and members also conduct training and education activities related to Internet crime.
