Minneapolis - A US man has pleaded guilty to answering an online advertisement for babysitting work and then using the client's child to make a pornographic video.
In a plea deal with federal prosecutors, Aaron Jay Lemon admitted on Wednesday to producing the video. The 23-year-old from Little Canada also admitted to coercing a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct.
The plea agreement says Lemon filmed the child in St Paul after seeking the babysitting job through Craigslist, the popular classified ads site. St Paul police say the victim was a two-year-old girl.
The US attorney's office says the case was part of a project that encourages agencies to investigate the sexual exploitation of children over the internet.
The office says Lemon faces a maximum of 30 years in prison.
