A police officer pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a child. How much jail time did he get? 30 days.
Former Ogden, Utah police officer Colten Scott Johansen, 56, was sentenced Friday to 30 days in jail after pleading guilty to two counts of attempted sexual exploitation of a minor and one count of forcible sexual abuse. Judge Catherine Conklin sentenced him to one to 15 years on each count but suspended all prison time beyond 30 days, adding 60 days home confinement and four years probation.
Johansen served as a school resource officer at Ogden High School and originally faced 10 felony counts. During a polygraph exam for a new job, he disclosed a sexual act involving an infant in 1994 and admitted to taking child sexual abuse material from case files for personal use. Forensic review confirmed hundreds of images depicting children from infants to teenagers.
Conklin called him "very decorated and respected" and said she did not believe he posed a danger. He reports to jail Monday.
