Police allege an Oklahoma woman hatched a scheme to get custody of her children that centered around loading hundreds of images of child pornography onto her husband’s phone and then having him arrested.

Lacey Hucks, 33, the wife, and Angel Moore, 44, her friend, are alleged to have worked together to frame Hucks’ husband, who was not named.

“If they could get him out of the picture, then she thought she would get her children back,” Garvin County Sheriff Jim Mullett said according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Police say that Hucks drove Moore to the Wynnewood Police Department on April 18 and had her turn the phone in and file a report. They say that Moore turned in the device and said she saw Hucks’ husband using it to view child porn in their home.

The police say that phone had hundreds of images of “various juvenile victims.”

Police did arrest the husband, but they began to wonder why the phone he was using did not have any images similar to the ones Moore turned into them. That’s when they reportedly got a warrant to search Lacey Hucks’ phone and that reportedly showed that she and Moore were friends and had discussed carrying out the incident in advance.

And then Moore allegedly caved.

Police say that after she initially said she didn’t know Hucks, she told them that they were friends and that Hucks had coached her on what to do in advance of turning the phone in. She then, reportedly, admitted that she never saw the husband with the phone.

The husband told Police he had not seen his old phone since last “October or November,” but “didn’t think too much of it because it was not his primary phone and did not have service.”

Moore is facing charges of conspiracy and knowingly reporting a false crime, the Star-Telegram reported, and Hucks is facing the same charges as well as a charge of aggravated possession of child pornography.
