As of now, Craig Scott Valdez has been federally charged, not convicted. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, he was arrested in Alaska and charged with sex trafficking of children, sexual exploitation of children / production of child pornography, coercion and enticement of children, and receipt of child pornography. Prosecutors say the allegations involve conduct tied to at least one minor in October 2025, and investigators believe there may be additional juvenile victims. 
The reporting also says Valdez, 36, had been serving as a chief of staff to an Alaska state senator and was fired after the charges became public. At his first court appearance, his lawyer entered a not guilty plea, and he was being held in custody while the case moved forward.
