LAKE HAVASU CITY – A Lake Havasu City man was arrested last month following an investigation of child pornography that began early this year. Daniel Knight, 27, was booked into the Mohave County Adult Detention facility for sexual exploitation of a minor.
The investigation began in February after a woman contacted Lake Havasu police. She said she discovered dozens of images of child porn in a file in the phone that was returned after she allowed Knight to borrow it.
Police reports show Knight first denied using the phone, before he subsequently said that he thought the downloaded images were of girls who were older than juveniles. An officer noted that one of the 15 illegal images retrieved from the phone appeared to be of a girl about seven years of age.
