Orange County couple arrested for possession of child porn

Police are seeking potential additional victims of an Orange County couple who were recently arrested for possession of child pornography. 

During the course of their investigation, which included a Costa Mesa Police Department Special Investigations detective posing as a 15-year-old girl online, officers identified 30-year-old Lake Forest man Jonathan Garduno as a suspect. 

In a statement released on Saturday, they say that he was arrested on suspicion of trying to meet with a minor with the intent to commit a sex act. They also booked his cellphone as evidence. 

He posted bail that same day.

"Detectives continued their investigation involving Garduno and located videos and photographs of child pornography on his cell phone as well as evidence that he had been distributing the material to others," police said. "Detectives also connected Garduno's live-in girlfriend, Khyla Kauffeld, 29, to the crime."

On Friday, CMPD detectives and Orange County Child Exploitation Task Force officers searched the couple's Lake Forest home and located further evidence of child pornography, according to their statement. 

Both Garduno and Kauffeld were later located and arrested, police said. They both bailed out on Friday. 

"Due to the combination of Garduno trying to meet a 15-year-old girl with intent to commit a sex act and the further evidence of child pornography found by detectives, CMPD is seeking the public's assistance in identifying potential additional victims, as well as additional information related to this case," police said.
