FAIRBANKS — A Galena man is facing child pornography charges for allegedly videotaping his sexual contact with a 16-year-old girl in Anchorage and showing the video to a friend.

Brenden Sweetsir, 20, faces six felony charges, including distribution of child pornography, unlawful exploitation of a minor and possession of child pornography.

According to a charging document filed last week in Anchorage, the mother of the alleged victim contacted Anchorage police last week with concerns about Sweetsir. The teenage girl told police she met Sweetsir on Facebook in November and went to his home on Dec. 2 where they drank alcohol and later had sex. She said she did not have any objection when he asked about videotaping but did not see him set up the camera.

Sweetsir told police he knew the victim was 16 years old and said the videos were still on his phone. He said he showed about 10 seconds of one of the videos to a friend but then stopped because he did not feel right about it. He said he sent still frames from a video to the girl because she had started texting with him again and he wanted to spark her interest in him, according to the charging document.

Sweetsir has no address listed on court documents, but he is from the village of Galena, according to Anchorage police spokeswoman Anita Shell.
