Luis Borunda, a deputy state secretary under former Gov. Larry Hogan, was federally indicted last month on child pornography charges, complicating and elevating a sexual solicitation case brought against him last year in Anne Arundel County.

Borunda, 65, was arrested Aug. 30 following a sting operation in which Fort Meade criminal investigators posed as a teenage girl skipping school to meet him, according to charging documents. Before federal attorneys became involved, he was scheduled for trial in that case Thursday in Anne Arundel County Circuit Court.
