A former Army solider pleaded guilty last week to child exploitation crimes he committed while living in Alaska and Texas, the Department of Justice announced.

Seth Herrera, 36, from El Paso, pleaded guilty to child exploitation crimes, including attempted production of child sexual abuse material depicting minors known to him and trafficking of CSAM.

According to prosecutors, Herrera sought out and shared illegal content by browsing the dark web and using encrypted messaging services and would take non-explicit photos of children, some known to him, and use artificial intelligence to undress and morph bodies to make them seem like they were engaging in sexually explicit content.
