Deputies say Michael Anthony Hall told the girl he would publish embarrassing information about her on the Internet unless she sent him nude photos.
The teen eventually obliged, the sheriff's office said, but later told her parents.
Detectives say Hall used an app that made it looks like text messages came from a different phone number.
Prosecutors charged him with four felony charges of sexual exploitation of a child.
