in World News Corrupt Utah Judge Freed Fire Chief Charged with Child Exploitation
Now Both Arrested in Shocking Child Exploitation and Illicit Relationship Scandal
Two high-profile Box Elder County officials—former Tremonton Fire Department Chief Ned Brady Hansen and First District Justice Court Judge Kevin Christensen—are now behind bars, facing a slew of felony charges tied to the sexual exploitation of children.
Hansen, who was first arrested in January on suspicion of child sex crimes, had been released on bail—thanks to a questionable ruling by none other than Judge Christensen.
Now, new evidence uncovered by the FBI has led to Hansen’s rearrest on March 11, 2025, and has blown the lid off a sickening relationship between the two men.
Christensen, 64, was arrested on March 6 and faces six felony counts, including attempted exploitation of a minor, enticing a minor, and dealing in materials harmful to a minor, The Herald Journal reported.
Hansen, meanwhile, was slapped with eight felony counts of aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor on March 10.
