TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey man accused of coercing a 13-year-old girl to send him explicit pictures has pleaded guilty to manufacturing child pornography.

State Attorney General Chris Porrino said Friday that prosecutors are seeking an eight-year prison term for Craig Wyatt. Wyatt is scheduled to be sentenced in August.

Authorities say the 25-year-old Willingboro resident met the girl online in 2014. They say he obtained nude photos of her, then threatened to kidnap her and post the photos he already had if she didn't provide more pictures.

Wyatt was on probation after serving more than a year in jail for stalking and threatening other girls on Facebook.
