CEDAR CITY — A 20-year-old Cedar City man who pleaded guilty to sexually exploiting a 16-year-old girl has been sentenced to one year in jail, followed by four years of zero-tolerance probation.
Camden Ridge Swenson was sentenced in 5th District Court on July 15 by Judge Matthew L. Bell.
Swenson was arrested on Sept. 20, 2023, following an Iron County Sheriff's Office investigation wherein a video containing nude images of a juvenile girl were found on Swenson's phone, authorities said.
"Camden admitted to being sexually active with a female who was 16 years old at the time of the encounter," the arresting deputy wrote in the affidavit filed in support of Swenson's arrest.
