WESTMINSTER \u2014 A 32-year-old Los Alamitos man<\/a> pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges of raping an unconscious 17-year-old girl and possessing child pornography.<\/p>\n

Glenn Canyon Childers also denied charges of possessing Adderall, Xanax, methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, psylocybin and ketamine.<\/p>\n

Los Alamitos police began investigating Aug. 31 a report of an underage teen girl given drugs before being sexually assaulted, according to the Orange County District Attorney\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

Childers was arrested Feb. 24 and was released from custody after posting $100,000 bail, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors asked for more information about other potential victims because Childers has worked as a DJ at children\u2019s parties.<\/p>\n

But Childers\u2019 attorney, Michael Guisti, said his client hasn\u2019t worked at a children\u2019s party in a decade.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe press release from the Orange County District Attorney\u2019s public affairs department is a disappointing attempt to sensationalize a case they had already rejected in August of 2025,\u201d Guisti said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy client\u2019s job as a DJ has absolutely nothing to do with the allegations against him. He and the alleged victim had been in a relationship for eight months. He saw the victim\u2019s mother regularly and the alleged victim was well known and part of his circle of friends. He told the police that when he was arrested in August. Cases involving minors are very serious and a misleading press release which implies my client is a predator preying on children at birthday parties is reckless and misleading.\u201d<\/p>\n

The District Attorney\u2019s Office responded with this statement:<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on the police investigation there is evidence that he had access to children through his job as a DJ. There is nothing sensationalistic about the sexual assault of children and we have an absolute obligation to thoroughly investigate any allegations of the sexual assault of children and ensure that those who prey on children are held accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Childers is charged with rape of an unconscious person, rape by use of drugs, possession and control of child pornography, all felonies, as well as seven misdemeanor counts of possession of a controlled substance.<\/p>\n

He is accused of possessing more than 600 images of child pornography, which included 10 or more images involving a prepubescent minor younger than 12, according to the criminal complaint.<\/p>\n

Some of the images include \u201csexual sadism and sexual masochism\u201d involving minors, the complaint alleges.<\/p>\n

Childers is next due in court May 28 for a pretrial hearing in the West Justice Center in Westminster.<\/p>\n
