The 15-year-old girl of Chattanooga, Tennessee, said that she received the disturbing video from a stranger.
Rather than replying to the message, the teenage girl reported it to school officials.
Police were called and an investigation began on Monday morning, when the student at the Central Middle School, received the text message on her cellphone which said: “Enjoy.”
Police said that the message came with a video of a man involved in explicit sexual acts without clothes.
Police called the phone number from which the text was sent. According to police, 24-year-old Mohammed Pirzada answered the phone.
Police issued a warrant for his arrest. Pirzada now faces one count of sexual exploitation of a minor by electronic means.
Pirzada told investigators that the video was meant for his girlfriend. However, he accidentally sent the video to the wrong number after a stranger asked to use his cellphone.
Investigators said that there is no way of knowing if Pirzada sent the video on purpose or if it was an accident.
Pirzada was arrested and booked into the Hamilton County Jail. He was released after posting $5,000.
