A Wisconsin man has been charged with sexual exploitation of a child for allegedly convincing a sexually abused 14-year-old girl from Tennessee to send him a video of her stepfather raping her.   

Bryan Rogers, 31, was charged in US District Court in Madison Monday with knowingly persuading a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing a visual depiction of such conduct.

According to his arrest affidavit, Rogers befriended the underage victim via the online game Roblox sometime in December. 

The two began exchanging messages around Christmas Eve, and soon after the teen confided in Rogers that she was being sexually assaulted at home

Pruitt and the girl's mother, Christina, made emotional, televised appeals for her to come home earlier this week 

When questioned by investigators, the 31-year-old claimed he did not send the seven-minute video showing what he described as a 'full-blown rape,' which was discovered on his phone, because it was 'blurry' and he thought it would not hold up in court. 

He admitted to driving through the night with the teen and staying away from tollways and gas stations equipped with surveillance cameras to avoid detection. He also smashed the girl's phone so should not be tracked.   

If convicted, Rogers faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years and a maximum of 30 years in federal prison.  He remains in the Dane County Jail. 

Pruitt, who legally adopted the victim after marrying her mother, Christina, was arrested on Thursday and charged with rape.  

He made his initial court appearance on Tuesday and had his bond set at $2million. Pruitt is due back in court on May 13.   

Days before his arrest last week, Pruitt made an emotional television appearance where he said life had 'stopped' since his wife's daughter went missing. 

'Life has just ceased for us since the day she left,' Pruitt said during a press conference.

'It's like having your soul ripped out of your body. You can't think, you can't eat, you can't sleep, you can't rest. 

'She has never misbehaved or been a bad kid ever. This is way out in left field for her. 

'Please come home, we do miss you terribly,' he said.  

The girl's mother has not been charged in connection to the rape, even though the victim claimed in her exchanges with Rogers that she had tried telling Christina about the sexual abuse. 

'She was my sunshine, and now my sunshine is gone,' Christina told reporters during her and Pruitt's appeal to the public last week. 'Please help us find our baby, please.

'We're very heartbroken. I miss her. I don't understand...none of us understand,' she said.
