FBI agents arrested Green on Friday and were holding him at the Boone County Jail without bond.

Authorities accuse him of driving to the hotel to the motel to meet someone he thought was a 13-year-old girl who turned out to be an undercover Jasper County sheriff's detective. Green also allegedly used a web cam to expose himself online three times.

Authorities said they also found about 40 images of child pornography and 17 videos of child pornography.
