UTAH COUNTY, Utah — A Brigham Young University assistant professor was arrested after allegedly sending messages and explicit photos to an officer undercover as a 17-year-old girl.
Stephen Henry McKean, 32, was arrested for two charges of enticing a minor and distributing material harmful to minors.
Court documents state that McKean messaged the agent, holding sexually explicit conversations, understanding the party was a minor, before sending explicit photos of himself.
During the conversation, he had stated that he was an assistant professor at a university. Investigators were able to identify him, arrest him and book him into jail.
