A 20-year-old man from Pueblo was arrested Wednesday in connection with the sexual assault of at least three children and several dogs after a year-long investigation.

Phoenix Moncivaiz-Likes faces three counts of sexual exploitation of a child, three counts of sexual assault on a child and animal cruelty.

The year-long investigation that led to the arrest kicked off when Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office detectives received a cyber tip that indicated child sexual abuse material was linked to Moncivaiz-Likes.

A search warrant for Moncivaiz-Likes’ home revealed child sexual abuse material alongside conversations of him sexually assaulting two minors. Detectives also found evidence of bestiality on his phone.

Detectives say the 20-year-old admitted to the sexual assaults on the children and to performing sexual acts with several dogs. Detectives later learned of a third child sex assault victim.

He has been booked into the Pueblo County Jail where he remains as of Thursday afternoon on a $75,000 bond.
