Police have accused a former Mrs. Orange County of making and distributing child pornography involving a 4-year-old family member.
Meghan Breanna Alt, a 25-year-old woman from Irvine, was arrested during a traffic stop Wednesday in San Diego on suspicion of using a 4-year-old relative to make child pornography reports the LA Times.
Authorities say that Alt confessed to making the illicit materials and then selling them to a Marine in return for gifts and money. Alt also advertised sex for money via Craigslist and investigators believe her children were often present during those exchanges.
Sheriff’s Lt. Jeff Hallock told KTLA that Alt is married and her husband was unaware of her activities. He is now caring for the couple’s children.
Alt was named Mrs. Orange County in 2014. As she worked with young children while volunteering at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, authorities believe there may be more victims involved and are investigating.
Alt has a court appearance scheduled for Friday and is currently being held on $100,000 bail.
