Sex Offender Poses As Calendar Photographer For Children's Hospital

A sex offender convinced parents they were doing a good deed by letting him be alone with their children, since he was posing as a Children's Hospital Colorado calendar photographer.

Michael Angelo Kaneta, 36, posted on a Facebook page called Colorado Angels - a place that acts as a suport group for the parents of sick children - asking for "families, children, models" to volunteer to be photographed for a calendar he was making for Children's Hospital Colorado, reports 9News.

"It was a good deed for the children that are sick and for their families. and so why not help them out?" said Kristi Coffie, one mother who participated in the photo shoot.

Children's Hospital Colorado told 9News they never heard of this calendar or of Kaneta.

Kaneta apparently never touched Coffie's kids during the calendar shoot, but she is worrying about what he is doing with the pictures of her children, reports 9News.

Kaneta is on probation for trying to seduce a minor online in 2013.

Kaneta was arrested for failing to register as a sex offender and being held while police investigate if taking pictures of kids were in violation of his probation.
