HOUSTON – A Houston father was being held without bond Friday on charges of producing, distributing and possessing child pornography, U.S. Attorney Jose Angel Moreno said.

DJ Christopher Lowe, 36, has been in state custody since August of 2010 and was transferred into federal custody on March 7, where he will remain until his trial.

Lowe is charged in an eight-count indictment with producing child pornography as far back as 2009, distributing child pornography as of June 2010 and possessing child pornography as recently as Aug. 13, 2010. The indictment alleges that Lowe exploited six different children in order to produce child pornography.

The charges against Lowe are the result of an investigation conducted by members of the Innocent Images Unit of the Houston FBI, which focuses its attention on investigating offenses involving the exploitation of children via the Internet.

If convicted, Lowe could face up to 30 years in prison on the producing child porn charge, 20 years on the distributing charge and 10 years on the possession charge.

Additionally, each charge is punishable by a $250,000 fine.
