A judge in Box Elder County has been arrested and faces multiple child sex charges after evidence allegedly shows that he distributed and received child sex abuse material online.
Kevin Robert Christensen, 64, was arrested Thursday following an investigation by the FBI’s Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force. Christensen is listed as a judge with the Box Elder County Justice Court overseeing cases involving Class B misdemeanor offenses and lower crimes.
