A 29-year-old Tabernacle man has been charged with exchanging nude photos and sexually explicit videos with an underage girl he met in an online chat room.

The prosecutor's office says Federico Soda was taken into custody on Friday.

Electronic devises were seized from his residence during the execution of a search warrant.

Authorities say that Soda knew the victim was underage.

An investigation by the prosecutor's office, the Palmer Township, Pa. police department and the New Jersey State Police revealed that Soda continued to interact and exchange photos with the victim after becoming aware that she was a minor.

It was also revealed that he was planning to meet the victim in person.

Soda is facing several charges including distribution of child sexual abuse material, possession of child sexual abuse material and possession with intent to distribute of child sexual abuse material.
