TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - A former emergency medical technician in New Jersey has admitted enticing a boy to send him a nude photo online.

Federal prosecutors say 23-year-old Zachary Motta of Iselin pleaded guilty on Tuesday to online enticement of a minor to engage in criminal sexual activity.

Authorities say Motta used a computer to ask the boy, who told Motta he was 12 years old, to send a picture of himself nude in October 2016.
