Ogden • A former Box Elder County judge who was charged with multiple child sex crimes has changed his plea to guilty, in an agreement with prosecutors.

Kevin Christensen appeared before a judge in Ogden on Thursday, and pleaded guilty to one charge of enticing a minor using the internet, and two charges in dealing in materials harmful to a minor — all third-degree felonies.

As part of the plea agreement, Christensen will be allowed to serve his sentences for the charges concurrently. Sentencing is set for June 8.
