Anthony Eudean Woollis, 52, of Lubbock accepted a federal plea deal on Thursday for production of child pornography.
Last year, officers obtained a search warrant for Woollis’ residence on an unrelated drug case. They found what appeared to be child pornography on his phone.
Investigators identified an underage girl who had been the subject of image and video recordings on the phone. Woollis later admitted he took a video of himself touching the girl’s private parts.
The videos and images were taken in 2012 and 2013, and court records said the girl was 15-years-old at the time.
Woollis will be sentenced at a later date to no less than 15 years and no more than 30 years in federal prison. State charges, including sexual assault of a child, were still pending.
Since his arrest last year, he has remained in the Lubbock County Detention Center.
