A Detroit man is facing charges for sex trafficking and for collecting and producing child porn after an investigation into a compromised credit card led investigators to discover a huge stash of child pornography as well as a woman chained by her neck to a stripper pole in his home.

The investigation began when investigators were following a string of suspicious credit card purchases totaling over $50,000. During the first search of Ryon Travis‘ home, two cell phones were discovered which contained child pornography, including an image of a girl on a sheet identical to one found in Travis’ home. Travis later told police that the girl was his daughter.

Investigators returned to the home a second time to find a 25-year-old woman chained by the neck to a stripper pole. She said that she had been living with Travis and his lovers for two years and that Travis would force several women to have sex for money while he advertised his sex services online. The woman had been chained to the pole because she had attempted to run away and had been trapped for two weeks.

A judge denied Travis bond on Monday and also criticized him not only for her perverse secret life but also for conducting such business while he was under police investigation.

“I don’t understand how you could have been present at a search in your home on March 2 where you know that phones were taken and were going to be searched, and by the 21st, you have chained a woman against her will, in your home, knowing that agents were looking at you,” Magistrate Judge Mona Majzoub said. “That makes no sense.”
