PROVO — The former BYU student accused of attacking a woman with a stun gun pleaded guilty Tuesday to a lessened degree of aggravated assault.
Stetson Geo Hallam, 20, had been charged with aggravated kidnapping, a first-degree felony, following an April 6 incident that he claimed was an April Fool's joke, according to a police affidavit filed in 4th District Court.
Charges say Hallam, the victim's home teacher in their LDS Church ward, pressured the 19-year-old woman to meet him so he could "give her a gift."
The woman told police Hallam waited outside her Provo apartment for her to return, then asked her to go to a basement laundry room as part of a scavenger hunt.
Once in the room, Hallam attacked her with a Taser-like weapon, pinned her to the ground and tried to handcuff her, the affidavit states. Despite the electric shock, the woman began screaming and fighting back, and at one point bit Hallam's finger, according to court documents. She later told police she thought Hallam was trying to rape her.
After being bitten, Hallam released the woman, apologized, and said it was just an April Fool's joke, the affidavit states. Police found burn marks on the woman's arm from the weapon and a bite mark on Hallam's hand.
Hallam pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and obstruction of justice, second-degree felonies. He is scheduled to be sentenced Sept. 9 and faces up to 15 years in prison.

This is probably my favorite post on this thread. Cant go run and hide here, ya little wuss.
Colo: “I think this thread has set a record for the most posts who side with a would-be rapist. Congrats!”
Please name those FReepers who have defended this scumbag. It certainly wasn’t me! In fact, I checked and didn’t find anyone who did.
panax: post #7: “He did wrong and should be punished for his ill deeds, just like people of other religions should.”
Sorry for not pinging you, really. Believe me when I say that I would not overlook an opportunity to aggravate you.
This thread is in an open forum and you are not protected by the Religion Moderator. This is where the ‘big boys’ play. Get used to it and quit whining for your mommy to intervene.
Dont tell reaganut, her head might explode.
I'm reminded of a TERRORIST attack on 9/11...
No; not NYC, but a peaceful little meadow in Southern Utah...
It was in 1857, when a traveling band of folks, heading west...
(I sure hope this is HISTORICALLY correct - I'd just HATE to get spanked!)
Oh!
Not ME!!
I just LOVE it when people DEFEND the history of things!
Especially if the FACTS are being distorted!!!
Pretty par for the course for ur guys. Find an article where a Moromon (person) does something, use logical flaws to make that act seem “condoned” by Mormonism, then claim that you arent talking about people but ideas.
If you werent such a panty waist, you would post a thread about Mormon beliefs, and then start a debate. But it is so much easier for you crew to try and link individual faults to religious beliefs and then pretend like you have some moral high ground in your indignation.
No one is siding with a rapist, you blockhead. No one on this thread has supported the rapist. You take their criticism of you as defending the rapist, because you lack an ability to think with logic.
“I just LOVE it when people DEFEND the history of things!”
I said my “FAMILY HISTORY”. Quit distorting words to fit your agenda.
How embarrassing it must be for you to repeatedly get caught re-writing words to further your narrow life’s goal of promoting hatred for Mormons.
Aren’t there any ‘Mormon bashing’ websites you could focus your attention on?
Yes. Catholicism must be a flawed belief because Ted Kennedy was a Catholic. Thats what Colo is trying to do.
Maybe you should earn people’s respect before you expect them to treat you the way you want.
I didnt say his claim was true. I said you lied about what he said (false claims being youre favorite debating technique).
And you cant find 1 person here who sides with the rapist. Maybe its you. Why havent you stopped raping people (see what its like when you make false claims to get sympathy)?
But seriously, why do you condone rapists?
Great observation, Raider Sam. Thank you.
They (Mormon-Haters, Inc.) claim that we engage in personal attacks when that is the mission statement of their cult.
Pretty sure Colo is an agnostic, because it never spreads its faith, only tears others down.
No, I get critiques from posters all the time. (Nothing unusual there...you speak the truth...you become a target)
The difference here is there's been absolutely zilcho compassion or comment on the Mormon victim. No solidarity w/the victim always (coupled with the other comments) winds up "siding" with the perp.
>>”You take their criticism of you as defending the rapist, because you lack an ability to think with logic.”<<
Give ‘em hell, Sam! YOU NAILED IT!!!!!
Thats because the thread has become about making Mormons look bad. Who has specifically not sided with the victim? Who has said the vic had it coming?
Seriously. You’ve read all these serial anti-Mormon postings ... do you see any pro-Christian postings? Caucus postings? I went to church today postings? I helped my neighbor postings? Hating Mormons does not a Christian make...magritte
Paranoid aren’t we? It’s in plain sight on YOUR thread. I don’t see how you could miss it unless you have so many hate threads going on so many boards that you can’t keep track.
