Vivas faces 582 charges in total

A man has been hit with 582 charges related to child abuse, after he was allegedly found to own a child sex doll as well as huge quantities of child sexual abuse material.

Huete Vivas, 32, was arrested in the US state of Louisiana following a police investigation during which cops allegedly found hundreds of files containing sick videos, as well as recordings of Vivas speaking to children and getting them to 'expose themselves'.

Files also showed the Nicaraguan national allegedly interacting with the child sex doll, which was later found at a property connected to Vivas, who according to local authorities was living in the US illegally. After his arrest, Vivas reportedly admitted to purchasing the grim doll on online retail site Temu, before using it for sexual purposes.

In a post on X, Attorney General Liz Murill stated: "My Louisiana Bureau of Investigation has arrested an illegal alien on 582 felony charges related to child sexual abuse material and possession of an illegal child sex doll.

"Louisiana is not a safe haven for illegal aliens who exploit children", before thanking several officials for their hard work on the case.

She wrote: "Thank you to my LBI agents, the Lincoln Parish Sheriff's Office, the Bossier Parish Sheriff's Office, Louisiana State Police, the Bossier City Police Department, the Bossier City Marshal's Office, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and ICE for their outstanding work and assistance on this case.
