Former Utah School Board Member Admits to Child Porn Charges, Masturbating with Children in Video Ch

A 29-year-old Utah man and member of the Salt Lake City School Board this week confessed to enticing minors to send him sexually explicit photographs and perform sexual acts via video chat. Joel Lehi Organista formally pleaded guilty to one count of production of child pornography and one count of transportation of child pornography, both felonies, the Justice Department announced Monday.

In a plea agreement filed last week in the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah, Organista admitted that he was the owner and user of a Dropbox account that downloaded between 10 and 150 “images of prepubescent minors,” the DOJ said.

The former elected representative for Precinct 1 on Salt Lake City School Board also confessed to engaging in mutual masturbation with minors he met online. “Organista admitted to using Snapchat to contact minor children and solicit them for child pornography and to perform sexual acts for him via video chat,” the agreement states. “Organista admitted during the chats he and the children would ‘jerk off together.’”

Organista is originally from Mexico City and moved with his family to Utah.
He reportedly served as the vice president of the Youth at the League of United Latin American Citizens until he was removed from the position following his arrest.
He also reportedly taught health at Horizonte High School.
