Snapchat Tip Leads To Arrest Of Logan Teacher In Possession Of Child Pornography

Ivan Gabriel Cardona Davila, 27, was arrested last week after police searched his home. He worked at Fast Forward Charter High as the tutor and mentor supervisor and a math intervention specialist. According to the probable cause affidavit, Snapchat, the popular photo sharing and messaging app, reported Davila’s account to Logan police in April. The company told the police Davila has shared nearly 50 pornographic images of children. Police were able to connect Davila to the account using his email and IP addresses.

 

The affidavit on this case says police found 16,000 pornographic images, most involving children, on Davila’s phone during the search warrant.

 

Davila was booked into jail on suspicion of 20 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor and other drug and gun-related counts. He is being held without bail.
