Khamryn Zyiel Johnson, aged 27, faces charges laid out in a five-count indictment for enticing a minor to create pornography, as well as for the transmission and receipt of child pornography images, as stated in court filings.
On May 22, the young 13-year-old girl was found dead by her mother in her bedroom in Gloucestershire, England.
She died a couple of days later.
According to court documents, the girl had been on a WhatsApp video call with Johnson before her mother found her.
Prior to her death, Johnson and the girl exchanged texts via WhatsApp. The messages contained sexually explicit content, with Johnson instructing the girl to “choke” herself and inflict “torture,” according to court documentation.
UK officials contacted the Department of Homeland Security regarding the girl’s death.
He was arrested in June, and is being held without bond, court records show.
Johnson is also accused of having other pornographic material of minors in his possession.
