David Wayne Garvey, 50, faces third-degree felony charges, which each carry between two and 10-year prison sentences. The arrest follows Garvey's indictment by a Chambers County grand jury.
The Texas AG's office investigation began with a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that someone tried to email child porn images back in September of 2007. That led to a search of Garvey's home in Beach City in May of last year.
A forensic examination of the computer equipment seized during the search yielded 83 images of child pornography on Garvey's computer, a CD and in e-mails. Also found during the search was a Bikers Against Child Abuse vest, which indicated the defendant was a member of the child abuse prevention group. Once notified of the arrest, Garvey's BACA membership was revolked.
