A Lindenhurst man has been indicted on child pornography charges.

Police say 22-year-old Taner Ocal pretended to be a dance instructor on social media and reached out to children in other states. Two of the girls were just 10 years old.

They say Ocal offered dance tips in exchange for inappropriate videos. More than 20 sexual videos and pictures of children were found on his cellphone.

Ocal was arrested in June.
