An Oklahoma woman and her friend have been arrested after they planted child pornography on her husband’s cell phone. Lacey Hucks enlisted the help of her friend, Angel Moore, in a revenge plot against her estranged husband, Brandon Hucks. The couple was involved in a bitter custody fight and had an upcoming court date.
Hucks and Moore used Brandon’s old cell phone to take nearly 900 screenshots of child pornography they had found on the dark web.
The women went to the Wynnewood Police Department on April 18, to report what they had “found” on Brandon Hucks’ phone. Initially, Hucks’ husband was arrested but when investigators found no evidence of child pornography on his current phone they became suspicious of Hucks’ and Moore’s story. Moore confessed to the crime but told police she believed they had done the right.
“This is kind of a crazy deal because there is a plot against a man over custody of children,” said Garvin County Sheriff Jim Mullett. “The women got together and thought to conspire to put him in jail and get him out of the picture.”
Both women were charged with conspiracy and false reporting. Hucks, 33, is currently held with a $250,000 bond according to Garvin County detention records. Moore, 44, has been released on bail.
The possession of a single image of child pornography has a five year prison sentence as well as a fine of up to $5,000.
