According to an affidavit of probable cause, Sean Allen Loveridge disclosed during a job test and security clearance process that he had committed sexual offenses.

Per the arrest document, an Ogden City police officer later interviewed Loveridge about the alleged incidents. During the interview, Loveridge reportedly admitted to sexually assaulting at least four young children and also to previously accessing child sexual abuse material.

Police were later given access to an external hard drive belonging to Loveridge, according to the affidavit. After a search warrant was obtained, “hundreds of screenshots of young girls on Instagram in the age bracket of about 6-13” were found on the device.

It was noted in the arrest document that some of the alleged sexual assaults occurred while Loveridge was serving in Maryland; those incidents are reportedly being investigated by the military.

Loveridge was charged in Ogden’s 2nd District Court with seven second-degree felony counts of sexual exploitation of a minor and is currently being held without bail at the Weber County Jail.
