New Jersey authorities charged Cavada in late May with possessing child pornography and making it available online for others to download.
Cavada was charged with criminal use of a communication facility in Bucks County after Penndel Police Chief Joseph Sciscio discovered child pornography was downloaded when Cavada lived in Bristol Township.
Cavada’s Bucks County case is expected go to trial in December 1 in Doylestown.

The Bucks County probe centered on two downloads of video files showing young girls engaging in sex acts. The files were allegedly downloaded to a computer based in a house on Friendly Lane in Bristol Township’s Levittown section.
Tracking the computer using its globally unique identifier, Sciscio said he found out later in fall and winter 2013 that the computer was in Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates. The chief added he found out in winter that Cavada was a member of the Air Force and was deployed in the Middle East.

When Cavada returned stateside, Burlington County, N.J. authorities executed a search warrant at Cavada’s residence. Sciscio said investigators recovered evidence during that search which allowed him to file charges in Bucks County.
Cavad’s defense attorney told the newspaper on Monday that his client did not have any contact with children.
