* 2 counts-attempting to transmit obscene material to a minor

The complaint details online contacts with minor victims in Louisiana and Illinois, as well as contact with undercover officers in Texas and Arizona who were posing online as minors, in 2015 and 2016. According to the complaint, Hudson called himself “Brian Johnson," and he used the screenname “hottgu" and e-mail addresses starting with “bigtlarry" and “hotbrian8" in his online activities.

Anyone with further information about contact between Hudson and any child should contact the FBI or their local police agency. The FBI’s Portland Division can be reached at (503) 224-4181.

Hudson will make his initial appearance before a federal magistrate judge in Portland on Monday, April 3, 2017.

Assistant United States Attorney Gary Sussman is prosecuting this case.

Portland FBI’s CETF consists of FBI agents and task force officers from the Beaverton Police Department, the Portland Police Bureau, the Tigard Police Department, the Hillsboro Police Department, and the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office. The FBI’s Child Exploitation Task Force is committed to locating and arresting those who prey on children, as well as recovering underage victims of sex trafficking and child pornography.
