Police had gone to his home during an investigation in to credit card fraud and identity theft.
In the home investigators say they found a 25 year old woman in the living room chained to a stripper pole.

Travis was charged with producing, transporting and possession child porn and sex trafficking, charges that could send him to prison for up to 30 years.
