A Norton, Virginia man pleaded guilty in Wise County Circuit Court to using an electronic communication device to solicit a minor and exposing his sexual or genital parts to a child under the age of 15.

Christopher Keith Kiser, 25, of Norton, pleaded guilty before Judge John C. Kiser without a plea agreement, so a judge will determine his sentence. He faces a total maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.

Commonwealth’s Attorney Chuck Slemp that in February, Kiser began communicating on the internet with a 12-year-old girl. The communication between the two included images of his sexual or genital parts and solicitations.

Kiser is scheduled to be sentenced on December 15.
