A 25–year-old Lakeway, TX, man faces federal production, distribution and possession of child pornography charges.
A 52-count federal indictment returned earlier this month and unsealed yesterday, charges Luann Fabric Campos Leao Hida (aka “Luann Hida,” “Luann Leao,” and “LOTR”) with 24 counts of production of child pornography, 27 counts of distribution of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography.
According to the indictment, from October 2014 to July 2018, Hida allegedly produced images and videos depicting 15 children engaged in sexually explicit activities. He lured his victims with the promise of alcohol, vape pens and vape oils.
Each production charge calls for a minimum of 15 years in federal prison upon conviction. Each distribution charge calls for a minimum of five years in federal prison upon conviction. Possession of child pornography calls for up to ten years in federal prison upon conviction. Hida remains in federal custody following his initial appearance yesterday in federal court in Austin.
