A California man accused of posing as an actor from the 'Twilight' movie franchise to lure young girls pleaded not guilty Tuesday to federal child pornography charges. David LaVera, 33, appeared in federal court in Des Moines, Iowa, on charges of sexual exploitation of a child and possession of child pornography. The bogus actor entered not guilty pleas to both counts against him. LaVera allegedly pretended to be Kiowa Gordon, 24, who played minor character Embry in three Twilight films. Back in court: David LaVera, 33, pictured here with one of the alleged victims, Raven Adams, appeared in federal court in Des Moines, Iowa, on charges of sexual exploitation of a child and possession of child pornography
