ICYMI: Police say Utah registered sex offender found in possession of child porn; Victim in some photos identified as local 7-year-old girl
WEST JORDAN, Utah — A Utah man who was already a registered sex offender was arrested this week after police say they found that he had uploaded pornographic images of a local child to the internet.
According to police, images and videos depicting child pornography were uploaded via a Google account that was traced back to Petersen. Some of these, according to the arrest report, were"known images depicting child pornography," and others appeared to be newly-produced child pornography. Some were allegedly uploaded as recently as May 24.
"West Jordan PD is working with state resources to ensure the female victim receives the assistance needed," the department wrote in a press release. Metadata on some of the images included information about the mobile phone they were taken on. It indicated that they were taken with a Samsung SM-G781U. Petersen was found in possession of that same model of phone when he was arrested. After searching his phone, police say they found more child porn.
