LOGAN — A 25-year-old Logan man previously convicted of trying to meet up to have sex with an undercover police officer, posing as a 13-year-old girl, has confessed to more crimes. Cameron Michael Ross has been in the Cache County Jail since being arrested in November 2023 for violating his probation.
According to court records, Ross participated in a pretrial conference Oct. 21 in Logan’s 1st District Court. He accepted a plea deal, pleading guilty to aggravated assault resulting in serious bodily injury, a second-degree felony; distribution of pornography by an adult and stalking, both third-degree felonies. As part of the agreement, 14 remaining charges were dismissed without prejudice.
According to prosecutors, Logan City Police officers were called to investigate an assault, Nov. 5, 2023. The victim reported her roommate, later identified as Ross, had strangled her.
The woman explained how Ross had become upset with her and began assaulting her. During the incident, he reportedly placed his hands on her neck and began to strangle her to the point she lost consciousness.
Police officers reported the victim had injuries consistent with strangulation, the affidavit of probable cause detailed.
In January 2023, Ross was sentenced to 200 days in jail for enticing a minor by internet or text, a second-degree felony.
Four months earlier, Ross began engaging in online chats with a Logan City Police officer. He also sent an inappropriate photo of his privates, while arranging to meet at a park near his home.
Ross told the officer he wanted to have sex with her. A time and place was arranged to meet.
When Ross showed up at the predesignated spot, he texted police that he’d arrived. Law enforcement surrounded him and took him into custody without incident.
Ross is currently being held without bail. He is scheduled to be sentenced on the new charges Dec. 2, and could face more than 15 years in prison.
