OGDEN — A man incarcerated at the Weber County Jail is in more trouble after prosecutors say he used his video visitation time to talk to a scantily clad teenager.
Landon James Klocker, 20, of Roy, who has a history of drug-related convictions, was charged Thursday in 2nd District Court with sexual exploitation of a minor, a second-degree felony.
On Nov. 19, Klocker was conducting a video visit from the Weber County Correctional Facility, according to charging documents.
"At the beginning of every video visit, the inmate is prompted that the visit is recorded," the charges state.
Klocker's call on this particular day was 21 minutes long and was with a 16-year-old girl, according to charging documents. About halfway through the call, Klocker tells the teen "he wants her in a 'really sexy outfit' that is 'a bit exposing,'" the charges state.
During this time, Klocker covers himself and his video monitor with a blanket. The girl then appears on the video screen wearing an outfit that "covered minimal portions of her body," the charges state. The video call recording was later reviewed by a jail employee.
When interviewed by by police, the girl said she knew the incident would be investigated, but "she decided to do it because she wanted to make him happy," the charges state.
According to the jail's website, inmates are allowed one or two 25-minute video monitor visits per week, depending on their classification, and "visitors must be appropriately dressed to visit an inmate."
