A Bluffdale man who police say had "extremely graphic" child pornography images on his phone now faces an additional 22 felonies.

Richard Michael Martin, 29, was charged with 22 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, a second-degree felony.

Martin was arrested Feb. 14 after police say he solicited an undercover officer — whom he allegedly believed was a mother — to have sex with her preteen daughters.

Martin was also charged in 4th District Court on Feb. 22 with nine counts of enticing a minor — three counts for a similar 2016 incident and six connected to his Feb. 14 arrest.

After his arrest, Utah County sheriff's investigators said they were going to search Martin's phone after suspected child pornography was detected.

According to his latest charges, detectives said they found pictures and videos involving "very young, prepubescent children engaged in sexually explicit conduct."

One of the videos shows a 1-year-old "tied to a table and crying" while being molested, the charges state.

Investigators also found 13 pornographic pictures that Martin had taken of a 6-year-old girl, according to the charging documents.

"In an interview with police, Mr. Martin admitted to having sent sexually explicit photos (of the girl) to others over the internet using the Whisper app at least twice."
