FORNEY, Texas — A Forney man who was filmed sexually assaulting a toddler and admitted to using hidden cameras to record explicit videos of two preteen girls was sentenced Thursday to 120 years in prison, federal officials said.
Leslie Michael Alt, 40, was indicted in September 2022 and pleaded guilty in September 2023 to two counts of production of child pornography and three counts of transportation of child pornography. He was sentenced to 1,440 months (120 years) in prison Thursday by U.S. District Judge Ada Brown.
Alt admitted to using hidden cameras to surreptitiously record sexually explicit videos of two preteen girls, according to court documents.
Prosecutors said explicit videos were found on a computer recovered from Alt’s home in August 2022.
During a subsequent search of Alt’s home, an FBI electronic detection dog alerted investigators to a safe in Alt’s closet, officials said. The safe was open and appeared to be empty, but agents found SD cards and a hidden camera when they removed the carpeted flooring of the safe, according to a news release.
Agents found videos of Alt sexually abusing a toddler on one of the SD cards, officials said.
The Texas Department of Public Safety’s Criminal Investigations Division and the FBI’s Dallas Field Office conducted the investigation with the assistance of the Grand Prairie Police Department’s Internet Crimes Against Children Unit.
