A Utah man has been charged with six counts of attempted sexual exploitation after being accused of using his son’s Instagram to ask for nude photos from minors.

The 39-year-old man’s ex-wife contacted the Brigham City Police Department to report that he had been using her son’s phone to message female teenagers, according to an incident report.
