A 60-year-old Logan man faces felony distribution charges after allegedly sending sexually explicit videos and taunting messages of his ex-girlfriend to her new partner over social media, according to law enforcement.

Rogelio Carreno was booked into the Cache County Jail on Aug. 30 by Logan City Police. He faces two third-degree felony counts of distributing pornographic material and two class A misdemeanor counts of distribution of an intimate image with a domestic violence enhancement.

According to an affidavit of probable cause, officers responded to a Logan residence Sunday evening following a complaint from a 54-year-old man and his 36-year-old girlfriend.

The male victim told police that Carreno, the woman’s former boyfriend, sent messages and two sexually explicit videos via Facebook Messenger from an account using the name El Pato Carreno.

In translated Spanish text, Carreno allegedly taunted the man by claiming ownership over the woman and asserting she was sneaking off to see him, offering the explicit videos as proof.

Investigators noted the female victim was easily identifiable in both videos, which depicted explicit sexual acts. The woman told officers she had been in a relationship with Carreno for approximately three years before their breakup in October 2025, and she stated she never gave Carreno permission to distribute the intimate videos.

Officers located Carreno at his residence shortly after the report was received. According to police statements, Carreno confirmed the Facebook profile belonged to him and admitted to sending the messages and explicit videos to the victim, though he provided no motive for his actions.

Because Carreno and the female victim were previously in a romantic relationship, police designated the intimate image distribution charges as domestic violence offenses under Utah state law.

Carreno has been ordered to appear in Logan’s 1st District Court for an initial appearance on Oct. 19.

Individuals arrested and charged in complaints are presumed innocent unless or until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in court.
