(KSL News) -- A disturbing case of child pornography has surfaced here in Utah.
FBI agents arrested Jonathon Cordier and charged him with production of child pornography. According to court papers, Cordier was in an online chatroom with a webcam and exposed himself.
Another person in the chatroom reported to police that the man "left the room and returned shortly thereafter with a girl, approximately three-years old."
Agents say Cordier "knowingly coerced the child to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing visual depictions of such conduct."
Agents executed a search warrant at a Salt Lake City home. They seized a computer, web camera and other evidence.
Cordier is being held on 100-thousand dollars bail. If he goes to trial and is convicted, he could face a life sentence with a mandatory minimum of 15 years in prison.
