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.
Bill Clinton?
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.
A good day for bananafish....
PERFECT
He didn’t even LOOK at any trees.
She described them as “abuse”....Yea right a 10 year old chose those words all by herself and why did she wait as long as she did to tell who ever it was that finally came forward.
I say foul..Guy needs an attny. and kid needs to take the stand and be grilled
Don't laugh too hard. He is the new ‘next Septuagenarian Democrat front runner now that Hillary is imploding.
What a total creep..kid probably has nightmares about that crap
Or fine....
He may very well have done this, but it will take more than “he said, she said” to convict.
What a total creep..kid probably has nightmares about that crap
i was thinking the same thing. After thinking it was Bill Clinton.
“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.

Drunk Uncle from SNL?
Your posts reflect a projection problem.....get a life.
Oh, and tell your butt beyotch elsie I am not a Mormon
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...
Man from U.N.C.L.E.?
