HEBER CITY, Utah — A man is facing felony charges after he allegedly sent harmful material to someone he thought was a minor, but that person was actually a member of the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
According to the Heber City Police Department, Russell David Neilson is facing charges of Enticing a Minor as a third-degree felony and Attempt to Commit a Crime as a third-degree felony.
