Carrie Sue Kelly, 44, was arrested June 12 on one count of sexual performance by a child. She remains in custody at the Gregg County jail, with bail set at $200,000.

Longview police began investigating in December when a police officer from Nebraska said Kelly had contacted a man on messenger apps saying she wanted to bring him a child in exchange for $100, KETK-TV reported.

An officer was sent to a location where they agreed to meet, but Kelly never arrived, police said.

Officers interviewed Kelly at a school Jan. 4, according to an arrest-warrant affidavit, and she admitted messaging the man about sex acts with the child. Kelly said she had lost her phone, KETK-TV reported, but when Child Protective Services called the number the child answered and said she was in the school's lobby.

Police subsequently found two videos on the phone from Jan. 2 in which the child is made to perform sex acts, according to the affidavit.
