A New York man pleaded guilty to a charge of attempting to produce child pornography on Tuesday.
Charles J. Adams, 38, could face at least 15 years in prison, according to a release from the Western District Court of Missouri.
The release said Adams received multiple sexual images and videos of an 8-year-old. It included Adams had also asked for a video of the child's sister getting out of the shower.
Adams contacted the child through an iPod app, the release said.
