OGDEN — An immigrant from Peru has been charged with kidnapping and having a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl.
Mexwill Damian Damian, 22, is charged in 2nd District Court with aggravated kidnapping, a first-degree felony, and unlawful sexual activity charge, a third-degree felony.
Authorities issued a warrant for Damian's arrest on Oct. 17. He's an immigrant from Peru who's in the country illegally and has been living in Ogden, according to the police booking affidavit.
The girl's father, who played soccer with Damian, found "concerning messages" on Instagram between Damian and his daughter. "The victim's parents confronted her and learned Mexwill and the victim had engaged in sexual activity on 08/23/2025," the affidavit states. Without the permission of the girl's parents, Damian drove the girl to his Ogden home, where they had sex, according to the charges.
Authorities have not been able to locate Damian at his home or at recreational activities he typically attends. They also checked on his whereabouts with federal authorities, learning he had not left the country.
Correction: An earlier version incorrectly said Damian issued a warrant for his arrest instead of authorities.
