WOODS CROSS — A man who police say was an administrator for several online child pornography groups was arrested Wednesday.
Landon Curtis Germaine, 31, of Woods Cross, was booked into the Davis County Jail for investigation of seven counts of sexual exploitation of a minor.
Agents from the FBI Child Exploitation task force served a search warrant at Germaine’s residence on Wednesday after receiving information that sexually explicit images of an 11-year-old girl had been sent to Germaine on a mobile app, according to a police affidavit.
“During the execution of the search warrant the FBI located and observed numerous sexually explicit and nude images/videos of prepubescent- and pubescent-age children on digital devices belonging to Landon Germaine,” the affidavit states.
When interviewed by authorities, Germaine said he enticed young girls, including an 11-year-old girl, “to send him sexually explicit videos/images and of other young girls,” according to the affidavit.
“Germaine also stated that he was a member and administrator for numerous other known child pornography groups on social media applications and on the internet,” police wrote.
