The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office has charged convicted sex offender Larry Dean Dick, 58, of Cordes Lakes with 13 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor and booked him Wednesday into the Camp Verde Detention Center.

On July 28, a Yavapai County Adult Probation officer conducted a home visit with Dick at his Cordes Lakes home. Dick had been convicted in 1984 for child molestation in Maricopa County and in June 2009 for three counts of failure to register as a sex offender in Yavapai County Superior Court.

During the visit, the probation officer examined Dick's laptop computer and discovered apparent child pornography images. The images were captured as evidence electronically and Dick was arrested for a probation violation. Many of the images were date stamped July 27, 2009.

On July 29, a detective from the YCSO Criminal Investigations Section interviewed Dick and he admitted visiting teen sex Internet sites. The detective also had notes from an April 2009 interview with Dick in which he admitted a sexual interest toward pre-teens. During the interview, Dick denied any intent to purposely access child pornography.

The detective reviewed the Internet site evidence obtained from the probation officer and identified at least 13 images portraying child pornography involving males and females. As a result of the investigation, Dick was charged Wednesday with 13 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor.

Dick remains in custody without bond on the indicated charges.

Florida has implemented such a program that is currently being used to track down who runs such sites, it's only a matter of time before it's used everywhere.In the meantime, thank God they are least catching these predators.

It's Time for Internet police to SHUT DOWN these sites. Oh wait? is there such a police force? WE NEED ONE. They could track all of the offenders from the sites they shut down and put the offenders in jail along with the site owners.

Just to play Devil's advocate here, (cuz this guy definitely is a scumbag) but it seems to me looking at pornography is a 'thought crime' while the worst criminals are the ones making the child pornography and putting it on the internet. How about a bigger effort to get those people?

But if I know our legal system in this counrty they will plea it down to something less and he will be treated better then the tax payers paying for his prison stay!

What amount the people that murder someone. They serve less time than a sex offender and you surely don't get a say if they want to murder you. Why is there not a regisation web page to keep track of murders. Who would you rather live next door to?
