Scott Childers

A Santa Maria man is facing child-pornography charges after allegedly videotaping an underage female, according to the Santa Maria Police Department.

Scott Childers, 25, was arrested last week on suspicion of manufacturing child pornography, said Sgt. Mark Norling.

“Due to the nature of the investigation and in consideration of the victim, no other details will be released,” Norling said.
