A Melbourne man has been accused of engaging in sexual activity with a minor and creating child pornography in the United Kingdom.

Australian Federal Police allege the 24-year-old man from Thornbury travelled to the UK to meet a child and commit a range of offences.

The man was arrested following a raid of his home by Federal Police and Victoria Police, during which officers seized a number of items.

He was charged with engaging in sexual activity with a child under the age of 16, producing child pornography material outside of Australia and possessing child pornography.

The man is scheduled to appear before the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Friday.

If convicted he faces up to 15 years in prison.
