According to investigators, Mainor is accused of sharing sexual videos of his ex-girlfriend, who is a minor, on Instagram accounts linked to his phone number.
The victim told police that after their breakup last year, Mainor harassed her both online and in person.
She also said someone threatened to post more videos unless she got back together with him.
Detectives say they traced the Instagram account back to Mainor using the phone number tied to the account.
Police say Mainor admitted to the accusations during questioning.
