1. Phoenix-area dentist facing multiple sexual exploitation charges
An East Valley dentist is facing felony counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, court documents say.
The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office arrested 32-year-old Dr. Landon Val Hirschi of Queen Creek on Nov. 9 on a grand jury warrant charging him with 10 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor under the age of 15, under Arizona's child pornography law.
Hirschi was booked into the Maricopa County Jail on a $150,000 bond. As of Nov. 13, online jail records did not list him as being in custody. During Hirschi's initial appearance on Nov. 10, a judge imposed several conditions of release, including electronic monitoring and prohibiting him from contacting minors. He was also barred from using the internet except for activities related to paying bills, attending school or working.
The indictment and other court documents have few details about the case. The indictment says the sexual exploitation occurred between Feb. 8, 2024, and Jan. 9, 2025.
It says sexual exploitation of a minor may include knowingly distributing, transporting, exhibiting, receiving, selling, purchasing, electronically transmitting, possessing, or exchanging any visual depiction in which a minor under 15 years of age is engaged in exploitative exhibition or other sexual conduct.
Hirschi has an active state dental license that expires Jan. 31, 2027, according to the Arizona State Board of Dental Examiners. The board's public-facing records say Hirschi attended dental school at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston School of Dentistry.
The board's records also say Hirschi has been working at Snow Family Dentistry in Mesa since Feb. 26, but a person who answered the phone at the office on Nov. 13 said that Hirschi no longer works at the practice. His next court hearing was set for Nov. 17.

3. Queen Creek Dentist Jailed on 10 Counts of Sexually Exploiting a Minor Under 15
A 32-year-old dentist from Queen Creek is facing 10 felony counts of sexual exploitation of a minor after Maricopa County Sheriff's Office deputies arrested him on a grand jury warrant. Landon Val Hirschi was booked into the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office jail on Nov. 9 on a $150,000 bond, according to court records.
The grand jury warrant charged Hirschi with 10 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor under age 15, according to The Arizona Republic, which reported the arrest after 12News did. A separate 12News report hosted by Yahoo News confirms that deputies arrested the 32-year-old Queen Creek man on the grand jury arrest warrant and that he was booked with the $150,000 bond on Nov. 9.
Charges Fall Under State Child Pornography StatuteThe charges against Hirschi are classified under Arizona's child pornography law, per the Republic's reporting. Arizona Revised Statutes §13-3553, which covers sexual exploitation of a minor, states that a person commits the offense by knowingly engaging in the conduct described in the statute, according to the Arizona State Legislature's published text of the law.
Court paperwork reviewed in the report lists Hirschi's place of employment as a dental office in the Valley. The same account notes that an active dental license under the defendant's name is filed with the Arizona State Board of Dental Examiners.

5. LDS Dentist Arrested on 10 Felony Counts of Sexual Exploitation of a Minor in AZ
A former Mesa dentist is facing 10 felony counts of sexual exploitation of a minor under 15. According to The Arizona Republic, Dr. Landon Val Hirschi was arrested November 9, 2026, and booked on a $150,000 bond. His release conditions include electronic monitoring and no contact with minors.
Here’s the timeline. The indictment places the alleged offenses between February 8, 2024, and January 9, 2025. That entire period came before his Snow Family Dentistry bio appeared around September 2025. In that bio, Hirschi said he graduated from BYU–Idaho and was an active member of the Ensign Academy of Dentistry, formerly known as the Academy of LDS Dentists.
Snow Family Dentistry says Hirschi no longer works there and that, to its knowledge, the allegations did not involve its office or patients. His next hearing was reported as scheduled for November 17.
