Former Walnut Creek attorney convicted of multiple counts of child sex abuse
A former Walnut Creek real estate attorney was convicted of multiple counts of crimes related to the sexual abuse of children, the Contra Costa District Attorney’s Office said Tuesday.
The jury also convicted Bishop of sexually abusing Jane Doe #1, who was under 10 years old at the time, between 2010 and 2018.
He was also found guilty of possessing over 600 images of child sexual abuse material depicting two of the girls — evidence recovered from a hard drive seized by police officers at Oakland San Francisco Bay International Airport in December 2023, when Bishop was taken into custody upon arriving from Florida, where he had been residing, prosecutors said.
According to the District Attorney’s Office, Bishop is facing multiple life sentences in prison.
Former airman gets life sentence for federal child sex crimes
FORT WORTH (KFDX/KJTL) — A former airman at Sheppard Air Force Base will spend the rest of his life in a federal prison after pleading guilty to kidnapping a Colorado teen and sexually abusing her.
Travis Robert Larson, 24, of Denton, was initially booked into the Wichita County Jail on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, and charged with trafficking of a child to engage in sexual conduct stemming from an investigation into an abducted 14-year-old girl from Colorado Springs.
Larson was indicted in August 2025 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. He pleaded guilty in November 2025 to one count of enticement of a minor and one count of sexual abuse of a minor.
On Friday, Feb. 27, 2026, Larson was sentenced to life in a federal prison by Chief U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor in Fort Worth.
In a press release from the office of U.S. Attorney Ryan Raybould, officials said the case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 to combat the “growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.”
Raybould said the following in the press release:
According to court documents, on May 4, 2025, a father notified the Colorado Springs, Colorado Police Department that his 14-year-old daughter was missing.
The father told authorities that he had located the child’s phone and found messages indicating that Larson had been communicating with the child and had discussed driving to Colorado to pick up the child and bring her back to Texas.
Law enforcement officers located surveillance footage of Larson picking up the child, identified in court documents as “Minor Victim 1,” and tracked his vehicle traveling from Texas to Colorado Springs and back during the late evening hours of May 3 to May 4, 2025.
Court records reflect that Larson was an active member of the United States Air Force and was stationed at Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls, Texas.
On the evening of May 5, 2025, the USAF Security Forces Squadron recovered the child near Larson’s dorm room on SAFB.
The child disclosed that Larson began communicating with her online when she was just 10 or 11 years old, and that she would send Larson sexually explicit images of herself at Larson’s request.
The child disclosed that her online relationship with Larson lasted several years until Larson eventually discussed coming to visit her in person.
