Riverton, Utah – A mother from Riverton, Utah, has been arrested and charged with aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor after authorities discovered that she allegedly sold explicit images of her children to her boyfriend. The arrest follows a separate incident in which her boyfriend, Justan Grover, was taken into custody over the weekend for allegedly filming an underage girl at a local gym.
The investigation began on Sunday when Grover was arrested for suspicion of filming a minor inappropriately at the gym. During the investigation, police obtained a search warrant to examine Grover’s phone for additional evidence. Upon searching the device, officers discovered disturbing messages and explicit photos sent by Grover’s girlfriend. The messages contained requests from Grover for explicit images and videos of her children, some of whom are minors.
Court documents reveal that the girlfriend, who has four daughters, allegedly complied with Grover’s requests and sent videos of the children in various states of undress. The couple reportedly agreed in December to exchange services for nude photographs of the children, with Grover promising to provide massages for the woman and her daughters in exchange for explicit material.
Investigators also uncovered videos on Grover’s phone showing two of the children, one of whom was filmed with exposed breasts, while another appeared to be filmed without consent in a compromising position. Following these discoveries, a search warrant was executed at the woman’s residence, where several electronic devices were seized for further analysis.
During subsequent questioning, the woman reportedly admitted to secretly filming her children and sending the explicit content to Grover. She is currently being held without bail and faces two counts of aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor.
Authorities have emphasized the seriousness of the charges, and the case is expected to have long-lasting effects on the victims and the community. The investigation continues, and officials urge anyone with information related to the case to come forward.
As the case develops, the victims will be provided with support and resources to help them navigate the emotional and psychological impact of the abuse.
The case serves as a grim reminder of the importance of child protection and the need for vigilance in reporting suspected abuse.
