OGDEN — Two Ogden men are facing felony charges accusing them of having sex with a 16-year-old boy on separate occasions.
Joshua Carroll, 27, was charged Monday in the 2nd District Court with two counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a 16- or 17-year-old, a third-degree felony, on or around July 25. Separately, Dyllan Zimmer, 36, was charged Monday with nine counts of unlawful sexual contact with a 16- or 17-year-old, on or around July 30.
On Aug. 4, the boy's father told police that he believed his 16-year-old son had been having sex with older men, according to court documents involving the two cases. He said he found a text message conversation from July 25 containing content that was sexual in nature between his son and Carroll, according to a police booking affidavit.
In an interview with police, Carroll allegedly admitted to having sex with the boy and described what they had done, which matched what the two discussed in the text messages the boy's father discovered, the affidavit states. Zimmer also allegedly admitted to having sex with the boy, according to the affidavit in his case.
Carroll was charged last year in connection with mistreating two dogs in Ogden. Late last month, he was sentenced to a week in jail and two years of probation and was also fined $600 in that case.
