A federal grand jury has indicted Miguel Adrian Gonzalez, 28, of West Los Angeles, on charges related to the sexual exploitation of at least six children under his care. Gonzalez, who served as CEO of Let’s Play LA LLC—a childcare company based in West Los Angeles—was also a camp counselor and private babysitter.
The indictment includes two counts of obtaining custody of a minor with intent to produce child pornography, seven counts of production of child pornography, two counts each for distribution and possession of child pornography, and three counts for receipt of child pornography. Gonzalez has been held in federal custody since October 28 after a magistrate judge ordered him jailed without bond. His arraignment is scheduled for December 4 in United States District Court in Los Angeles.
According to court documents, from at least 2021 through 2025, Gonzalez produced sexually explicit images involving children he supervised or cared for. The indictment alleges that he touched the genitalia of at least one minor victim.
Prosecutors say that in October 2023 and May 2024, Gonzalez contacted parents of two six-year-old boys via text message and offered babysitting services with the intent to obtain custody or control over them. He allegedly knew these children would be depicted engaging in sexually explicit conduct. These incidents resulted in the production of child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
Between April and August 2025, authorities allege that Gonzalez used social media platforms such as Snapchat and Telegram to distribute and receive CSAM images and videos—including material depicting children he had previously babysat. In October 2025, investigators found images and videos containing CSAM on two Apple iPhones belonging to Gonzalez; these included depictions involving six children under his supervision.
An indictment contains allegations that a defendant has committed a crime. Every defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
If convicted on all charges, Gonzalez faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 30 years in federal prison with a maximum possible sentence of life imprisonment.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office has also charged Gonzalez with felony child sexual exploitation related to this case; those proceedings are ongoing.
Homeland Security Investigations and the Los Angeles Police Department are leading the investigation. Assistant United States Attorneys Kelsey A. Stimson and Kim Meyer from the Major Crimes Section are prosecuting the case.
