A 32-year-old West Valley City man who was arrested in May for trying to coerce a 16-year-old girl to have sex with him has now been charged in that case — and with kidnapping and raping a second 16-year-old girl.

Alan Javier Tinoco was arrested in early May after the first teenager reported that he asked her for nude photos and videos of herself, which she sent. According to court documents, Tinoco, who told the girl he was 19, then told her if she didn't have sex with him, he would share the nudes with her family and friends.
