SANTA ANA — A mother of three who won the Mrs. Orange County pageant has been arrested on suspicion of using a 4-year-old relative to make child porn.

Twenty-five-year-old Meghan Alt of Irvine was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of committing lewd conduct with a child and producing and distributing child pornography.

Investigators believe she created and sent sexually explicit images of the 4-year-old girl to a Southern California Marine in exchange for cash and gifts.

Alt remains jailed Thursday. It's not immediately clear whether she has an attorney.

The Orange County Register (http://bit.ly/1MhlVI4 ) says Alt turned down a request for a jailhouse interview.

Alt won last year's Mrs. Orange County pageant and competed in the 2014 Mrs. California contest.
