LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A San Fernando Valley woman accused of posing in 11- year-old photos depicting child pornography was expected to make an initial  court appearance today.

Letha Mae Montemayor, 52, was arrested outside a North Hills apartment  complex around 7:30 p.m. Thursday by Immigration and Customs Enforcement  Homeland Security Investigations agents and Los Angeles Police Department  officers, ICE spokeswoman Virginia Kice said.

The arrest came less than 10 hours after federal authorities released  photographs of an unidentified man and woman, known only as ``Jane Doe'' and  ``John Doe,'' being sought in connection with a child sexual exploitation case.  Federal officials held a news conference Thursday asking for help identifying  the suspects, who were believed to have taken the photos in the San Fernando  Valley.

By 2 p.m., someone had called the ICE tip line, and more tips followed,  leading authorities to Montemayor, officials said. She is charged in a federal  criminal complaint with one count of production of child pornography and one  count of conspiracy to produce child pornography, Kice said.

U.S. Attorney Andre Birotte Jr. said the arrest ``brings us one step  closer to vindicating the victim and helping to regain some dignity for all  victims of child exploitation crimes.''
