A district judge on Tuesday refused to issue a personal-recognizance bond to a Grand Junction woman facing parallel federal and state prosecution in connection with accusations that she took explicit photos of a 2-year-old girl as part of a "sexting" conversation with an adult man. Samantha Groff, 23, will be held in the Mesa County Jail in lieu of a $250,000 surety-only bond, according to Mesa County District Judge Brian Flynn, who addressed the issue in a Tuesday hearing.
