A Quebec professional tennis player accused of soliciting sex from a 13-year-old girl has been released on bail from a Florida jail.

Police in Florida say Pierre-Ludovic Duclos posted a 33-thousand dollar bond yesterday.

The 27-year old is Quebec's highest ranked tennis player.

He was arrested on Thursday during a sting operation by police and faces a total of five counts.

The charges include using a computer to solicit a child to commit sexual acts; enticing a child; lewd and lascivious battery; transmission of material harmful to minors; and travelling to meet a minor after using a computer to lure a child.

Police accuse him of texting lewd photos of himself to the girl.

Duclos is due to appear again in court next month.
