Ned B. Hansen was the fire chief in Tremonton, Utah and at Jackson Hole before that. In January 2025, he was arrested after allegedly sharing child sexual abuse material.

Incredibly, the Judge Christensen did not disclose his sexual relationship with Hansen. Less surprisingly, he also did not disclose their alleged mutual interest in child sexual abuse material. Hansen was charged with eight counts of sexual exploitation of a minor. He is now being held without bail in Weber County Jail.
