A man was charged in Morgan County on Friday after he allegedly threatened to distribute nude photographs of a teenage girl.
Bryce Martin, 20, of Stover, was charged with sexual exploitation of a minor and three counts of having child porn. He is being held at the Morgan County Jail on a $150,000 bond.
The probable cause statement says law enforcement was called on Thursday after a caller said Martin tried to take the 17-year-old victim from a residence. The girl allegedly told deputies that she was in a “relationship” with Martin and that her father allowed her to go with him.
Another person in the probable cause statement told law enforcement that Martin had recently threatened to disseminate nude photos of the girl after a “breakup” occurred. Deputies also spoke with the victim’s father, who told law enforcement he did not want the girl to leave with Martin, was unaware of Martin threatening to leak photos and wanted to press charges, the statement says.
Martin allegedly admitted to receiving the photographs from the social media application Snapchat, with some dated 11 months’ prior, court documents say. Martin also allegedly admitted to threatening to distribute the photos because he was mad at the victim, court documents say.
