Former Del. 'Santa Claus' Arrested For Child Porn

NEW CASTLE, Del. (CBS 3) ― Delaware State Police said a former foster parent and "Santa Claus" has been arrested on several counts of child pornography.

Authorities said hundreds of illegal images of children were found on the home computer of 52-year-old Steven Hughes.

The arrest was part of a two week investigation targeting the distribution of child pornography online.

Hughes, who operates a child photography business, served as a foster parent for over 100 children from 1983 until 1997, according to police. He also previously worked as Santa Claus, advertising he was available for home visits.

Hughes is currently being held after failing to post $300,000 cash bail.
