FDLE: Florida man poses as filmmaker to lure girls for pornography


A man who posed as a filmmaker to lure girls for child pornography was arrested at an Orlando hotel Friday, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement said.

Kevin Hernandez Orth, 25, contacted a local talent agency Thursday in search of young swimsuit models, investigators said.

He said he was a filmmaker with Candy Land Films, but the talent agency couldn't find any record of the company, so it alerted FDLE.

An FDLE agent contacted Orth, posing as the father of a 14-year-old girl.

The agent told Orth he could video tape the girl in a swimsuit for $100, he could video tape her nude for $200 or have sex with her on camera for $400.

Officials said Orth told the agent he planned to sell the recordings, and the agent met up Orth at the Westgate Leisure Resort, where he was staying.

Orth was arrested on the following charges: attempted lewd and lascivious battery, solicitation of a parent to engage in sexual conduct with a minor, traveling to meet a minor to engage in sexual conduct, attempted manufacture of child pornography and attempted production of child pornography.

He is being held without bond at the Orange County Jail.

Orth told investigators he arrived in Orlando from Puerto Rico Sunday.

Agents said they're concerned Orth might have contacted other people.
