A Florida police officer arrested last month for allegedly soliciting a minor for sex now faces a federal charge for attempting to produce child porn.

30-year old Juan Antonio Garcia is on leave without pay with the Sewall's Point Police Department in Martin County.

Federal prosecutors now say he was trying to get a 15-year old boy to record himself doing sexual acts and send them to Garcia by cell phone.

The teen is the same one who investigators say the officer was attempting to have sex with, leading to the state charges.

The boy's father says Garcia has been a family friend for several years. He discovered lewd and sexual text messages between his son and the man on the teen's phone.
