A Fruitport teen has pleaded guilty to felony child-porn charges for sending photographs via the Internet to an undercover detective in New Hampshire.

Adam Michael Cruz, 17, pleaded guilty Wednesday to one count of using a computer to commit a crime and two counts of possessing child sexually abusive materials. Muskegon County Circuit Judge Timothy Hicks agreed not to sentence Cruz to state prison.

Cruz requested consideration for Youthful Trainee status at sentencing, under which a young first offender's felony record is expunged if he completes probation with no further offenses.

Sentencing will be Oct. 12.

Among the pictures sent to the detective, who posed as a 14-year-old boy on the Internet, were shots of nude underage boys in sexual poses or engaging in sexual activity, police said.

Authorities said it appeared that the pictures were not taken locally but were downloaded from the Internet.
