Former Washington Co. Sheriff's deputy charged with allegedly creating CSAM of children
This article contains information about alleged child sexual abuse material. Report CSAM to law enforcement by contacting the ICAC Tip Line at (801) 281-1211 or your local law enforcement agency. SPRINGVILLE, Utah () — A Springville man who previously worked for the Washington County Sheriff's Office has been charged with 15 felonies after detectives discovered he was allegedly creating child sexual abuse material (CSAM) of two children. The 43-year-old man, whom ABC4 is not identifying to protect the victims, has been charged with 10 counts of aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor, a first-degree felony, and five counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, a second-degree felony. On April 14, 2024, the Utah County Sheriff's Office (UCSO) received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children regarding a user who had uploaded CSAM to an online account. Bountiful man charged for possessing more than 2,000 files of CSAM, documents say A detective with the UCSO investigated the tip and determined that CSAM had been uploaded by the account. An email and phone number were associated, and search warrants served on the email address located 'numerous' CSAM files. Through this investigation, the UCSO detective identified the 43-year-old man and began conducting surveillance on his residence. On July 15, 2025, a search warrant was executed on the man's home, during which he was taken into custody without incident, documents say. Two children were at the home, both under the age of 14, and an adult female, not identified by police, arrived to take custody of the two young children after the man was detained. During an interview with the 43-year-old, he allegedly confirmed that the phone number was his, and he had been using it for more than 15 years. He also stated that he does not share his phone with anyone else. Documents say that he was a former Washington County Sheriff's deputy, but had not been employed there for some time. A LinkedIn profile that appears to belong to the man shows that he left the sheriff's office around 2008. The 43-year-old man also allegedly admitted to owning the email account, but declined to answer any questions regarding CSAM files located on it. Eagle Mountain man arrested for paying 13-year-old for sexual photos, documents say Detectives began searching the man's cell phone as part of the search warrant and located 'a large quantity of CSAM,' including multiple images and videos of the two children at the home. CSAM files not involving the two children were also located. The photos of the children were as recent as one week before July 15. A UCSO detective made contact with the adult female who had custody of the two children, and she stated that she was unaware of the 43-year-old possessing CSAM, but had previously discovered that he had hidden cameras inside his residence. The two children completed interviews at the Utah County Children's Justice Center, and neither disclosed any abuse. Documents say that they were likely unaware that the man had taken inappropriate photos and videos of them. The 43-year-old man was arrested and booked into the Utah County Jail, where he is currently being held without bail. Charges are allegations only. All arrested persons are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Sunstone Introduces the Orion mPulse PRO Pulse Arc Welder—Twice the Power, Twice the Capabilities
Sunstone Introduces the Orion mPulse PRO Pulse Arc Welder—Twice the Power, Twice the Capabilities 'The Orion mPulse PRO, with twice the power, is a viable micro welding solution for a broader range of industries, from jewelry to dental lab, from manufacturing to research and development labs.'— Jonathan Young SPRINGVILLE, UT, UNITED STATES, June 1, 2025 / / -- Sunstone introduces the new Orion mPulse PRO pulse arc welder to the jewelry, dental and orthodontic lab, and manufacturing industries. The new welder, built upon the world's bestselling Orion mPulse, provides twice the power—up to 60 joules of energy—and twice the number of welding applications that can be completed with the PRO version's added energy capabilities. 'The Orion mPulse PRO delivers all the popular features of the Orion mPulse and more,' says Jonathan Young, CEO of Sunstone Engineering, LLC. 'The PRO version provides twice the power, making it a viable micro welding solution for a broader range of industries, from jewelry to dental lab, from manufacturing to research and development labs. The digital interface, front-facing ports, and adaptive footprint have made the Orion mPulse a bestseller among pulse arc welders worldwide. With twice the power, more industries will now see the PRO version as a solution to their welding challenges.' Features that Make the PRO a Popular Choice The Orion mPulse PRO has an energy range of 1 to 60 joules (Ws) and utilizes Sunstone's unique Dual Zone Power Range™ feature. The operator can increase energy in increments of 0.5 joules for energy levels at or below 15 joules, and single joule increments for energy levels at 16 to 60 joules. When lower energy is required for a particular application, the PRO version provides a greater degree of energy control. The PRO version utilizes Sunstone's proprietary Tru-Fire Technology™ to deliver a significantly more responsive welding experience, reducing misfires and improving welding consistency. Even when welding at low energy levels, such as one or two joules, the Orion mPulse PRO will not misfire. For organization with space limitations, the PRO version's adaptive footprint and front-facing ports can fit nearly any space. When placed vertically, the welder's footprint is reduced to about 7x4 inches. A built-in power supply helps to simplify cord management. The PRO version of the Orion mPulse uses the newly redesigned Orion stylus. Sunstone re-engineered the stylus in 2024 to create a more robust design available in five different colors. Operators can expect the PRO version to provide many years of productive service. The PRO version sports a fun, intuitive digital interface that is easy to learn and simple to use. The interface background can be changed to match mood or brand and the software can be updated thanks to an attached USB port. Built on a Proven Foundation The Orion mPulse PRO is built on a proven technology foundation with more than 100 million welds and 17 years of pulse arc welding experience. Sunstone's engineering team designed the PRO version to help the operator weld with confidence, safety, peace of mind, and precision. Sunstone backs up the PRO version with a 3-year warranty and the company's acclaimed customer service. Designed and manufactured in the USA, the PRO version can also be protected with a 'forever warranty' through the Sunstone Circle product protection program.
