An ACT Supreme Court jury deliberated for about three hours on Thursday to find Navin Edwin guilty of child grooming, using the internet to cause child pornography, transmitting pornography and sending offensive material.
It is the second time this month Edwin, 33, has been found guilty of offences against young girls after a previous jury found he had committed 13 counts of acts of indecency, sending offensive text messages, and producing and possessing child pornography.
The crimes came to light after adults swapped a series of text messages with the man via an 11-year-old victim's mobile phone.
Police subsequently raided the man's home, discovering home-made child pornography on his electronic equipment.
But Edwin maintained his innocence and attempt to explain all charges in court.
Edwin faced his second jury trial within a month in the ACT Supreme Court this week.
During the trial, jurors heard Edwin exchanged a series of messages - via email, text and a chat program - with a 15-year-old girl he had met through a theatre group in 2009.
The pair corresponded electronically over a period of six months, during which time the girl sent him images of herself in her school uniform, bikini and underwear, as well as some that showed her exposing her breasts.
Edwin photoshopped flowers to surround a nude image of the girl in what he claimed was an "artistic endeavour" with her blessing.
The defendant also sent two graphic images of himself to the girl.
Edwin also argued a series of explicit messages, which took the form of a fantasy story in an enchanted forest, were part of a collaboration between two creative writers.
But he argued he thought the girl was an adult and only discovered her true age days from her 16th birthday.
In a final submissions on Wednesday, Crown prosecutor Mark Fernandez said the defendant had created a sexualised atmosphere with a vulnerable child.
But defence barrister Markus Hassall said the alleged grooming had occurred after the girl's 16th birthday, which was the age of consent, and therefore it was not a crime.
He argued the alleged victim's evidence had been shown to be flawed and urged jurors to exercise caution when assessing her evidence.
Justice John Burns thanked jurors for their service before sending them home.
Edwin will reappear for sentence in August.
