Chelsea Lovell, 25, is also being held at MCDC. Her bail is set at $380,000.
On Thursday, a grand jury indicted Hyliard with 30 counts of first degree encouraging child sexual abuse, 30 counts of second degree encouraging child sexual abuse, and one count each of first-degree sexual abuse, endangering the welfare of a minor, and using a child in a display of sexually explicit conduct.
The grand jury charged Lovell with 15 counts of first degree encouraging child sexual abuse, 15 counts of second degree encouraging child sexual abuse and one count of meth possession.
According to court records, Hyliard and Lovell have been in an on and off relationship for the last 4 years. Lovell works as an exotic dancer in southeast Portland. Hyliard told court staff during his jail booking process that he works as a software developer.
