Edmund Davis, the alleged boyfriend of formerly missing teen Alicia Navarro, recently made a court appearance and pleaded not guilty to possessing child sexual abuse photos. He appeared in a Zoom call before District Court Judge Kaydee Snipes Ruiz on Monday, looking balding and with a beard, wearing an orange jumpsuit and having his bail set at $1 million.
His public defender, Casey Moore, said he would file a motion to reduce the bail after speaking to the defendant’s dad and Assistant Attorney General Dan Guzynski. Authorities have not yet said if Davis is a suspect in Alicia’s four-year disappearance.
Davis was arrested on October 23 after dozens of images of suspected child sex abuse material were found on his cell phone. Medical experts determined that the subjects in 10 of the images were under 13 years old and two of them were less than 5 years old. He has been charged with possessing images of children under 12 engaged in actual or simulated sexual conduct, which carries a mandatory sentence of 25 years behind bars and up to 100. Davis has also been charged with possessing images of the sex abuse of kids under 16, which could result in four to 100 years in prison.
Alicia, now 19, was confirmed to be reunited with her family earlier this month. Her mother, Jessica Nunez, took to Facebook to express her gratitude, saying “I thank you all for all the support… My family is complete. We need to heal and for that to be possible I will ask privacy… I thank everyone for all the concerns and support… god is a miracle worker.”
No more hearings for Davis were immediately set on Monday. The outcome of his case will be eagerly awaited by the public, and especially by Alicia’s family, as they seek justice and closure for Alicia’s four-year disappearance.
