Utah Teacher Charged With Kidnapping, Child Sex Crimes

Utah substitute teacher Randy Lamar Jensen, 71, was arrested and charged after Logan police found him with a 15-year-old boy in a vehicle at a city park shortly after midnight. According to police and court documents, the teen said he arranged the meeting for sex through Snapchat, and officers found explicit images and a video of sexual activity on his phone. Investigators say Jensen admitted to exchanging images with the boy, soliciting sex and previously having sex with him after learning he was under 18. Jensen faces felony charges including aggravated kidnapping, forcible sodomy and sexual exploitation of a minor; the allegations have not been adjudicated. He was employed as a substitute teacher by the Cache County and Logan City school districts.
