SALT LAKE CITY — A third man has been charged with having sex with a teenage girl he met on a sugar daddy website.
Hector Stanley Renderos, 38, of Draper, was charged Thursday in 3rd District Court with human trafficking of a child and six counts of aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor, first-degree felonies; plus unlawful sexual conduct with a 17-year-old, a third-degree felony.
On Dec. 14, the Utah Attorney General's Office received a tip that a 17-year-old girl "may have been the victim of trafficking for purposes of sexual exploitation," according to charging documents.
Investigators later learned the teen was involved in prostitution and "she made money by having sex with people. (She) stated she would post on sugar daddy-type websites and then received messages from adult males for sex. (She) specifically described encounters with three different adult males," the charges state.
One of those men, Renderos, contacted the girl in August and told her he wanted to have sex at his house and record it on video, according to the charges. Investigators reported finding five videos and a photo on the teen's phone of her and Renderos engaging in sexual activity.
John Carroll Hammans, 48, of Ogden, and Jesse Daniel Gomez, 45, of Salt Lake City, have also been charged with human trafficking of a child and accused of also engaging in sexual activity with the same girl.
