A Washington man admitted Tuesday that he paid someone in the Philippines to stage a live, online sex show with a 12-year-old girl in February 2010 so he could record it with his webcam.

Jeffrey W. Herschell, 54, pleaded guilty to coercing a child to have sex and possession of child pornography.

U.S. District Judge David Cercone scheduled Herschell's sentencing for May 28.
