Child sex predator found guilty in Salt Lake County

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (ABC4) — A man has been found guilty of sexual abuse of a child in Salt Lake County, according to the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office.

Nathan Tyler Christiansen was convicted Feb. 10 on two counts of first-degree felony aggravated sexual abuse of a child.

Christiansen’s victim came forward at 14 years old, but she said she was 6 or 7 years old at the time the abuse occurred. The details surrounding her abuse are being withheld.

“We applaud this victim-survivor for bravely testifying against her abuser in open court. As a child, she did everything in her power to protect herself against a predator, but it was an adult that she was able to stand up to him from the witness stand and ensure that he will be held accountable for his horrific actions,” said Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill.

“We appreciate the dedication of our prosecutors Ben Bartholomew and Emily Paulos and our support staff for their work on this particularly tough trial. We thank the work of Unified Police Department detectives that helped ensure this successful prosecution.”

The jury trial began on Jan. 30, 2025, with closing arguments taking place on Feb. 6, 2025. Christiansen’s sentencing is set for April 23, 2025.
