Colorado man sentenced to 30 years after investigation by Montgomery County task force

THE WOODLANDS, TX – A man from Colorado has been sentenced to 30 years in prison after a proactive undercover investigation by members of the Montgomery County Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force uncovered disturbing child exploitation material and led to the rescue of potential victims.

The investigation began when Sergeant J. Serratt of the Montgomery County Precinct One Constable’s Office engaged with Jacob Davis during an online ICAC operation. During the exchange, Davis sent Sergeant Serratt multiple videos containing child pornography. The nature of the material raised immediate concerns for the safety of children who may have been in Davis’s presence.

Sergeant Serratt quickly collaborated with Detective Minchew of Precinct Two Constable’s Office and other ICAC Task Force members. Thanks to their rapid response, several potential victims were located and safeguarded.

Davis was subsequently charged in Montgomery County with three counts of Possession with Intent to Promote Child Pornography and two counts of Sexual Performance of a Child. He was extradited to Montgomery County on June 20, 2024, to face charges in the 359th District Court with Judge Kathleen Hamilton presiding.

On May 29, 2025, Davis pleaded guilty and received a total sentence of 30 years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. He was sentenced to 20 years for one count of Possession with Intent to Promote Child Pornography and an additional 10 years for a second count. The sentences will be served consecutively. Davis will be required to register as a sex offender for life and must serve at least half of his sentence before becoming eligible for parole.

This case was investigated by the Montgomery County Precinct 1 Constable’s Office in partnership with the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office. The investigation was supported by a multi-agency effort that included the Montgomery County Constables’ Offices from Precincts 2, 3, 4, and 5, the Conroe Police Department, the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Loveland Police Department in Colorado, and the Houston Metro Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force.

Chief Prosecutor Chris Seufert said, “Jacob Davis thought he could hide behind a screen in another state, but the children he exploited were real. Thanks to swift action, they were protected—and now Davis is serving a 30-year sentence that will follow him for life.”

District Attorney Brett Ligon said, “No city is a sanctuary and no state is too far. I’ll use every legal tool to bring you to justice in Montgomery County. We love our kids and we love our community. I promise you, you’re better off minding your own business in your own state because we mind ours here. His crimes reached our community— and thanks to fast, coordinated law enforcement action, his access to children was cut off and justice was served. This should send a clear message to predators everywhere.”
