Police: Man booked for child sex abuse charges after incident in pool

LEHI — Officers booked a man Wednesday afternoon after a 10-year-old girl disclosed the suspect had sexually abused her last summer.

During an interview at the Children’s Justice Center, the victim said she was swimming at a neighbor’s home in Lehi during the summer of 2014. During that time, the neighbor’s uncle, Jeff Hunt, came out and got in the pool with the victim and with her friends.

They started to play a game of “shark,” but during the game, Hunt, 42, reportedly made the victim grab and squeeze his crotch underwater. She also stated he had reached up and underneath her swimming suit. She told officers he was “feeling around.”

The victim reportedly said the actions made her feel very uncomfortable, and she described them as “abuse.”

The victim said she barely knew Hunt, except from around the neighborhood and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ward they attended.

Hunt was found Wednesday morning and arrested without incident. After he was read his rights, he invoked his Fifth Amendment rights and refused to speak to officers without an attorney present.

Based upon the information provided by the victim, Hunt was booked into the Utah County Jail on suspicion of two first-degree felony charges of aggravated sexual abuse of a child and two second-degree felony charges of sexual abuse of a child.

I’m not doubting the girl’s story, but I’m wondering from this report where the sufficient evidence comes from for arresting this guy.

He may very well have done this, but it will take more than “he said, she said” to convict.

“After he was read his rights, he invoked his Fifth Amendment rights and refused to speak to officers without an attorney present.”

Excellent advice. Cops are not your friends. Ever.

I agree she was coached. That doesn't mean she's making it up.

Presumption of innocence for the guy, but also take the girls accusation seriously: "Grilled" is perhaps a bit adversarial for a 10 year old...
