A Polk City man is accused of using his Xbox to get child porn.
Deputies say 22-year-old Timothy Hammerstone got a boy to send him dozens of naked pictures.
Sheriff Grady Judd says Hammerstone invited a 10-year-old boy from California to join his online video gaming group.
"He created those accounts so that they could keep their communications confidential from their parents," Judd said.
Judd says Hammerstone offered to pay the boy 1,600 Microsoft points to send naked pictures.
"This child did pose in several different manners as directed by the adult and provided 40 different photographs," Judd said.
Deputies arrested Hammerstone Thursday night at his Polk City mobile home.
The sheriff says Hammerstone confessed to the crimes, saying he was molested as a boy.
Hammerstone's facing 16-counts of possession of child porn. He's being held in jail without bond.
Judd says Hammerstone also created a Facebook account where he posed as a 15-year-old boy. Judd also believes there's more victims out there.
