Chad Myers, 18, pleaded guilty to two counts of disseminating matter harmful to juveniles on Tuesday.
A sentence for Myers has not yet been determined.
According to an affidavit filed in the case, one of the victims, a 14-year-old girl, was interviewed at the Child Advocacy Center in July after filing a police report.
“Child victim #1 disclosed that Chad Myers had sent her four to 10 photographs of himself which included nude photographs,” the affidavit said.
The victim also stated that there were other child victims that communicated with Myers and could corroborate that he had sent her nude photographs, according to the affidavit.

In September, the second victim, a 13-year-old girl, was also interviewed at the Child Advocacy Center, according to the affidavit.
“Child victim #2 disclosed that Mr. Myers would chat with her via Snapchat talking about sexual acts with child victim #2,” the affidavit said.
The second victim also stated that Myers sent her a video of himself engaging in a sex act, the affidavit said.
According to the affidavit, two other possible child victims were interviewed in connection with the case, but while Myers would, “message vulgar and inappropriate messages talking about engaging in sexual acts,” he never sent them nude photographs or videos.
Myers was arrested and charged Monday morning; he’s out on bail awaiting sentencing.

2. Man wanted since 2013 for Springfield fatal shooting pleads not guilty to a complicity to murder charge
Walter Baker Jr., now 34, pleaded not guilty to a complicity to murder charge on Friday.
Judge Thomas Trempe set his bond at $200,000. The charge carries a potential penalty of 15 years to life in prison.
Baker Jr. was arrested at a home in the 100 block of North Ardmore Avenue, according to Miami Valley Jails booking site.
He was wanted for the shooting in Clark County and for a rape in Franklin County, according to the U.S. Marshals.
Springfield police say Baker Jr. was involved in a shooting at the Nite Owl Tavern on Jan. 26, 2013 that killed 34-year-old Ernest Edwards, of Springfield, and injured three other people.
Springfield police have previously told the News-Sun that Edwards was not the intended target of the shooting, and he was simply ‘in the wrong place at the wrong time.’

In court on Friday, the judge said he would be held without bond for that charge.
At the conclusion of his case in Clark County, he will then be transferred to Franklin County to answer to the charges against him there.
