A 42-year-old Texas man has pleaded guilty to coercion and enticement of a South Carolina minor, according to the Department of Justice.
Juan Carlos Munoz, 42, of Mission, Texas, met a 14-year-old girl from South Carolina on a social media/video chat site.
Officials say he used a fake name and claimed to be a 19-year-old teenager while requesting nude photos and videos of the girl.

Local law enforcement in South Carolina were able to determine his true identity and report the allegations to Texas authorities.
On Dec. 16, 2022, they located him at a local high school where he was employed as a substitute teacher. At that time, Munoz admitted to communicating with the minor victim and requesting sexually explicit photos.
U.S. District Judge Ricardo H. Hinojosa will impose sentencing July 19. At that time, Munoz faces a mandatory minimum of 10 years and up to life in federal prison and a possible $250,000 maximum fine.
