Former 'Mrs. Orange County' accused of producing, distributing child porn involving 4-year-old
LOS ANGELES -- A former "Mrs. Orange County" has been arrested on suspicion of producing and distributing child porn involving a 4-year-old family member, authorities said Thursday.
KTLA in Los Angeles said Meghan Breanna Alt, 25, was arrested Wednesday in San Diego County.
The Orange County Sheriff's Department said Alt confessed to several allegations of production and distribution of child pornography involving the 4-year-old family member.
She is accused of selling the sexually explicit images to a U.S. Marine in Southern California in exchange for cash and gifts.
The investigation into Alt was initiated based on information from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, the sheriff's department said.
Alt was pulled over during a traffic stop in San Diego County and was with her husband at the time, and the husband had no knowledge of Alt's alleged activity, the sheriff's department said. He cooperated with investigators, the department said.
Alt was Mrs. Orange County in 2014, KTLA reported, and competed in the 2014 Mrs. California Pageant.
