Hunter James Geidl made the plea during a federal court hearing on Monday, court records show. If the plea deal is accepted, Geidl could serve between 24 years and four months to 30 years. Geidl between 2021 and 2024 employed and used victims to "engage in sexually explicit conduct" to produce child pornography videos, according to the indictment. He also knowingly possessed a video of a minor victim "engaging in sexually explicit activities," court documents said. The indictment says Geidl solicited sexually explicit images from at least a dozen minor girls; the youngest was 13 years old. A grand jury indicted Geidl in December 2024. At that time, investigators told the U.S. Attorney's Office in Minnesota that there may be other victims related to this case. Anyone who believes their child had contact with Geidl is asked to call the Federal Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-225-5324 or submit a tip here. The FBI worked with the Hastings Police Department on the investigation. No sentencing date has been scheduled. If you know of a child who may have been a victim of exploitation, call the National Center for Missing or Exploited Children at 1-800-843-5678 or visit the website. contributed to this report.

Arrest Made In Poukawa Assault On Cyclists
A man has been arrested in relation to an assault in Hawke's Bay last month in which cyclists competing in a race were pelted with glass bottles. On the afternoon of Saturday 19 April, the occupants of a black ute were seen on Mutiny Road, Poukawa throwing bottles from their vehicle towards participants of a Council-sanctioned cycle race. A young person was hit by a bottle and fell from their bike – fortunately they were not seriously injured. Hastings Police would like to thank the public for their response to our appeal for information at the time, as this has helped bring this matter to a resolution. An 18-year-old man has been charged with two counts of assault with a weapon, and is due to appear in Hastings District Court on Friday 23 May. He was a passenger in the black ute at the time. This vehicle has been seized by Police, and Police are following lines of inquiry to speak with the driver. We would like to take this opportunity to remind road users that cyclists are legal road users under the Land Transport Act, who will on occasion ride two abreast, particularly in organised ride or race situations. Please be patient and overtake when safe to do so for all parties, ensuring everyone arrives at their destination safely – preserving Hawke's Bay's reputation as a proud cycling region.
