A 31-year-old Montgomery, Alabama man is facing new criminal charges in connection with an online sextortion plot that investigators believe now spans the globe.

Christopher Patrick Gunn was indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury in Montgomery with two counts of production of child pornography, three counts of interstate extortion, and three counts of using a facility of interstate commerce in furtherance of unlawful activity.

Those indictments are in addition to the two counts of possession of child pornography with which he had already been charged, U.S. Attorney George L. Beck, Jr., explained.
