(KSL News) The teenage boy found with a missing 16-year-old girl over the weekend is facing charges in juvenile court today.

The 16-year-old male is being charged with harboring Robyn Atkinson, whose disappearance prompted an Amber Alert.

A Sandy City police sergeant says Atkinson, who has the mental capacity of a 10-year-old, willingly followed the teen to his home and hid from the boy's parents.

Police received a tip that she may be there, but the boy refused to let them in until they threatened to get a search warrant.
