Utah Business Owner Charged With 10 Counts After Colorado City Search Finds Alleged Child Sexual Abuse Material

Investigators cite ongoing forensic review of seized digital media that could lead to additional charges.

Overview

  • Detectives executing a warrant at a Colorado City business found an external hard drive containing thousands of images and videos of suspected child sexual abuse material, according to the Mohave County Sheriff's Office.
  • Authorities identified the owner as Jerry Colvin Black, 50, and reported that he acknowledged knowing about the photos and videos found during the search.
  • Utah detectives later served a warrant at Black’s Hildale residence, recovering additional evidence for processing.
  • The searches and arrest involved cooperation from the Colorado City Marshall’s Office and Homeland Security Investigations.
  • Black was booked into the Mohave County Adult Detention Facility in Kingman, though KLAS reports jail records show he is no longer being held there as the investigation continues and potential additional charges are reviewed.
