Box Elder Man Convicted on Multiple Charges in Undercover Operation Targeting Internet Predators

Vincent Alberto Barrios, a 42-year-old man from Box Elder, has been found guilty on charges including sexual exploitation of a minor, attempted enticement of a minor, and receipt of child pornography.

Barrios engaged in explicit conversations with undercover agents posing as minors during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, coordinating plans for unlawful sex acts.

Arrested at the rally, he now faces mandatory minimum penalties ranging from 5 to 30 years in custody, along with fines and other potential consequences.

The convictions stem from an undercover sex trafficking operation during the 2023 Rally aimed at catching internet predators.

A sentencing date is pending.
