Zachary James Baillie is charged with one count each of distributing pornography to a minor with the intent to engage in sexual conduct and luring a child with the intent to commit a sex crime, both felonies, as well as a misdemeanor count of possession or control of child pornography, according to court records.
Arraignment for Baillie, who is being held on $100,000 bail, was rescheduled for Thursday in the jail courtroom in Santa Ana.
