OGDEN, Utah () — A man living in Ogden has been arrested and charged after he admitted to sexual crimes against children during a job security clearance process. He is also allegedly being investigated by the U.S. Military for crimes committed against children in Maryland.
Sean Allen Loveridge, 52, has been charged with seven counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, a second-degree felony. According to documents, on June 11, 2025, an Ogden City Police Officer was assigned to investigate Loveridge after he allegedly confessed to sexual crimes against children during a 'job process and security clearance.'

That same day, the officer met with Loveridge to discuss what had happened. Loveridge allegedly told the officer that he had sexually assaulted four young children — some of whom were family members — while living in another state and that he was attracted to 'pubescent and prepubescent females.'
During the interview, Loveridge also allegedly confessed that he had previously viewed child sexual abuse material (CSAM), but 'did not do it anymore.' He told the officer that he had an external hard drive for storing information and photos, but claimed it did not contain any CSAM. Loveridge gave the external hard drive to the officer to search.
The police officer drafted a search warrant for the external hard drive and began investigating what was stored on it on June 13. According to documents, the officer found 'hundreds of screenshots of young girls on Instagram' that were graphic and/or sexual in nature.

Additionally, the officer allegedly found 'thousands of photos of young girls taken in various church events, parks, and parties' that inappropriately framed the underage children. Police determined that some of these photos were taken of children whom Loveridge had confessed to sexually abusing.
Documents state that Loveridge is currently being investigated by the U.S. Military in Maryland. Loveridge allegedly committed the sexual crimes against children he confessed to while serving in the military.
Loveridge was booked into Weber County Jail on June 13 and was charged in the second district court earlier today. 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.
