A Greenup County, Kentucky man is behind bars accused of soliciting child porn.

A press release from Kentucky State Police says 26-year-old Keith Sammons communicated through a KIK chat application with what he believed was a 14-year-old girl. During the conversation, investigators say Sammons asked the teenager to send pornographic photos to him. Sammons then allegedly sent a pornographic picture of himself to the girl.

Sammons is charged with prohibited use of an electronic communications system to procure a minor/peace officer for sexual performance. He is currently in the Greenup County Detention Center.
