A social media influencer known for exposing the drug-addled underbelly of San Francisco has been indicted for allegedly forcing minors to make child porn that he filmed on his iPhone.
Ricci Wynne, 39, was hit with two counts of producing child pornography, according to federal documents filed Tuesday — in addition to the human trafficking charges he was already facing following his arrest in November.
The disgraced social media star allegedly coerced two minors “to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing a visual depiction of such conduct.”
Prosecutors believe Wynne planned to use the disturbing footage to turn a profit.
Wynne is already being held in federal prison, the documents state. He was initially arrested in November after he and a woman were detained at San Francisco International Airport on suspicion of pimping and pandering, charges he has pleaded not guilty to.
Police at the time seized his iPhone, which contained the distributing underage sex acts.
Wynne was already on probation after pleading guilty in 2019 to being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition and possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, court documents show.
The alleged pervert claimed he left his life of crime behind, and that his experiences inspired him to document the crime and drugs proliferating through San Francisco.
Wynne — a vocal Trump supporter — garnered significant social media for his videos, which depicted drug users shooting up on the streets and even schoolchildren negotiating their way through a crowd of homeless people. His clips were shared on conservative channels, like Libs of TikTok.
“I changed my life and am trying to do something good for the community. (San Franciscans) need to stand up for our city. By running away, you don’t do anything,” he told KRON4 in a 2023 interview.
Wynne has not posted on social media since his November arrest. His YouTube account has apparently been removed for violating community guidelines.
If convicted on the new charges, Wynne would face a minimum of 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine along with a minimum of five years of supervised release.
