Utah teen charged with 22 felonies after police say he posed as a woman and asked for nude photos

A Utah teenager is facing 22 felonies in adult court after police say he posed as a woman online and solicited nude photos from minors.

The 18-year-old man was charged with a dozen counts of second-degree felony sexual exploitation of a minor and another 10 counts of third-degree felony dealing in harmful material to a minor by an adult.

Prosecutors allege in charging documents that the teen posed as a woman on Facebook, and made “friends” with eleven alleged victims who are under the age of 18. After some conversation, the teen would ask for nude photos from the minors.
