Fredy Arbito of Hightstown admitted Tuesday that he knowingly coerced an 11-year-old girl to engage in sexually-explicit conduct and transmitted it over the Internet. Those acts occurred between July 2011 and January 2013.

The 31-year-old Arbito pleaded guilty to a complaint charging him with production of child porn. He faces up to 30 years in prison when he's sentenced on Feb. 4, 2014.

Earlier this year, federal prosecutors claimed Arbito posed as a teenage girl living in Colombia and induced a 14-year-old girl in Ecuador to send him sexually explicit images. That case is still ongoing.
