Norfolk, Va. – A former Chesapeake bus driver has pleaded guilty to charges of production of child pornography.

Larry Carl Homan, 71, was indicted on the charges in October.

Court documents say in May 2015, a parent complained to her daughter’s school that Homan had acted inappropriately towards her daughter. Surveillance video was reviewed and officials found Homan touching and fondling students on several occasions.

The Chesapeake Police Department then executed a search warrant at Homan’s Norfolk residence.

The paperwork says detectives searched Homan’s phone, computer and cameras. They also found a flash drive hidden in a clock on Homan’s wall.

Officials do not say what they found, but Homan was later charged with producing child pornography. Documents say he persuaded three girls, an eight-year-old and two ten-year-olds, to engage in sexually explicit conduct to produce the child porn.

Homan faces a mandatory minimum penalty of 15 years and a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison. He will be sentenced on March 21, 2016.
