SACRAMENTO --
An El Dorado Hills man is being held without bond on federal child pornography charges
after agents on Monday said they seized images from his home showing him
performing sexual acts with a 2-month-old girl.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents said the girl is one of the youngest sexual assault victims they have ever enco
ntered.
Larry Michael Jeffs, 41, was arrested at his home Thursday
after the agents said they found explicit video images showing him engaging in
sexual acts with the infant, who is n
ow 8
months old.
Jeffs is alleged to have distributed the im
ages over the Internet,
where they were recovered during a child pornography investigation
in Detroit.
The agents said they traced the images to Jeffs' e-mail.
Federal agents and the agents with the California Department of Justice Sexual Predator Apprehension Team
raided Jeffs' home and seized computer equipment, a digital camera, and infant's clothing and bedding.
Jeffs remains in the Sacramento County Jail, charged with producing and distributing child pornography, which carry a maximum prison term of 50 years.
The continuing Detroit investigation is part of the government's Operation Predator, which targets child sexual predators worldwide,
including subscriber
