LONDON, Ky. — A Mingo County man accused of trying to get a 13-year-old girl to send him nude photos has asked to plead guilty in his criminal case.

Tyler Castro, 23, of Williamson, was charged in February with a single count of attempted production of child porn in federal court.

In his signed plea agreement, Castro admits to engaging in a sexually explicit conversation with the girl over Facebook Messenger. He further admitted to sending the girl a nude photo of himself and asking her to send him nude pictures and videos of her. The girl did not comply.

Authorities found out about the conversation after the girl’s grandmother learned about it and reported him.

Once he pleads guilty, Castro will face a prison sentence of between 15 and 30 years when he is sentenced.
