Cop gets 9 months in jail for child sexual exploitation


OGDEN — A former Tremonton police officer was sentenced to less than a year in jail for crimes related to sexual exploitation of a child.
Jeremy Rose appeared in the 2nd District Court of Ogden for a sentencing hearing Monday after he pleaded guilty to several charges including sexual exploitation of a child, communications fraud and voyeurism in September.
Judge Scott Hadley sentenced Rose to multiple prison terms, but suspended the sentences in favor of jail and probation.
Along with 270 days of jail, Rose must complete 36 months of probation and register as a sex offender. He has been allowed work release in jail. He must also pay a $603 fine or complete 60 hours of community service.
Rose will also be allowed to be transferred from the Weber County Jail to the Northern Utah Community Correctional Center for therapy should a bed become available during his jail sentence.
A permanent stalking injunction from the victim was also filed against Rose.
Rose was arrested in June 2013 after an investigation conducted by the Utah Internet Crimes Against Children task force.
Rose had reportedly contacted a 15-year-old girl, posing as a pornographic website’s administrator and convinced her to sell him nude photos of herself, according to court documents. He was said to have paid the girl $300 and given her an iPhone..
Rose was also charged with setting up hidden cameras in the girl’s bedroom to watch her undress.
Brigham City prosecutors and 1st District Judge Ben Hadfield recused themselves from the case due to professional ties to the officer, so the case was sent to the 2nd District Court in Ogden.

Rose’s 12-year career with Tremonton police included a rotation with the Box Elder Narcotics Strike Force. He resigned from being an officer in July 2013.
