A 22-year-old former U.S. Navy midshipman is facing sexual exploitation charges in Boulder County after investigators allege he posed as a juvenile female online to get other underage females to send him sexually explicit photos.
Boulder police say they found more than 20 sexually graphic images of children on Bret Butler’s cellphone and computers, including a desktop computer that Butler told police was “Navy-issued,” according to court records.
