PRESCOTT, Ariz. — A Prescott man was arrested on July 1 after a months-long investigation regarding multiple alleged crimes including sexual exploitation of a minor. 

Eric Wright, 43, was taken into custody after detectives served a search warrant at his home near Miller Valley Road and Whipple Street, police said. 

In March the Prescott Police Department began an investigation into Wright after reports that child pornography was uploaded to an online account allegedly tied to him, according to police.

During the investigation, detectives said that Wright also appeared in a video of himself engaged in an assault of an adult female without her knowledge or consent, according to officials. 

Detectives gathered evidence and Wright was arrested, interviewed and booked without bond at Yavapai County Jail.
