Wed Jul 12, 9:47 AM ET
A former "American Idol" contestant accused of videotaping sexual encounters with two teenage girls has been indicted on child pornography charges.
Daniel James "DJ" Boyd, 27, pleaded not guilty Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Salt Lake City to charges of production of child pornography and possession of child pornography.
A trial date was set for Sept. 18. Boyd faces up to 40 years in prison time if convicted.
Boyd, a contestant on the popular television program two years ago, was arrested last month in West Valley City after a 14-year-old girl contacted police there. He has remained in the Salt Lake County Jail since then.
The Salt Lake County district attorney's office has also charged Boyd with unlawful sexual activity with a minor and unlawful supply of alcohol to minors.

Prosecutors claim that Boyd gave the girls, who were 14 and 15, alcohol before engaging in sex. He is scheduled to appear in district court for a preliminary hearing on those charges on July 25.
