COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – A former Ohio youth coach has pleaded guilty to creating child pornography after he allegedly filmed a 5-year-old girl with a cell phone.

Prosecutors say a search of Bryan Lehman’s computers uncovered about 25 homemade videos and 35 images of a partially dressed girl.

The government said Lehman admitted he used a cell phone attached to his belt to record the child without her knowing about it.

The 50-year-old Lehman pleaded guilty in federal court in Columbus Friday to a single count of production of child pornography. His attorney, Steve Nolder, said the plea deal calls for a 15-year sentence.

Authorities said Lehman was a volunteer coach for a youth baseball and softball league in Westerville in suburban Columbus last spring.
