An Orange County man was arrested by federal agents after he sent sexual pictures of himself and his 15-month-old daughter over the Internet, authorities said.

The man was ordered to be held without bail at a court appearance in federal court Monday. He faces child-pornography charges, and has been assigned an assistant federal public defender.

The Associated Press will not release the man's name to protect his daughter's identity.

An Internet sting conducted by the Central Florida Innocent Images Task Force, which includes a Seminole County sheriff's detective, led to his arrest.

The man "admitted to producing three videos of himself and his daughter engaged in sexual activity," FBI agent Keith Scott wrote in a charging affidavit. The suspect also "admitted to transmitting these videos to multiple individuals over the Internet."

He also chatted online with a Tennessee-based FBI agent posing as a 13-year-old.

Internet subscriber and user records kept by Yahoo, BellSouth and Level 3 Communications linked the Yahoo screen name used by the suspect to his address at an apartment complex.

Agents showed the e-mailed video files to the girl's mother, who identified the child. The girl remains with her mother, who is not suspected of any wrongdoing, agents said.

A telephone message left at the federal public defender's office in Orlando, who is representing the man, was not immediately returned.
