Ex-BYU student pleads guilty in attack on woman he was assigned to home teach

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.

Dunno, what religion are you?

[SZonian]

Since you brought it up...

What exactly did JS learn was "untrue" about Presbyterianism?

[Ripliancum]

The verses before what I quoted provide the answer. I provided the link. Isn’t that why you guys are always railing against us? Enjoy the popcorn though, you’ve seen the episode many times already. ;-)

P.S. Isaiah 29 prophecies of the same thing, so take it up with him too.

[svcw]

I’d still like you to show one post that is “I hate mormons”. Just one.

[svcw]

So what did JS learn about Presbyterian that was not true?
I read the words you linked to and the answer is what?

[svcw]

posts to seems to be anti-Mormon threads, never any "pro-Christian"

I that a serious question?

[Ripliancum]

The same thing he learned about all sects. This is the stick you antis like to beat us over the head with, so I would think you know this very well by now.

But just in case you really don’t know and are not baiting, here’s the links again. If you are baiting, so be it, I won’t be debating theology, so I won’t post this again, or keep this going. Do what you will.

Ok, R. I have read the links. In all sincerity I do not read what you are implying here. I do not read any evidence of the fore telling of JS.
I read the link for the lds site, and although the verse tells of the coming of JS, in this sense it is not relevant for anyone who was starting their own religion would of course put in their writings the fore telling of themselves.
I appreciate the links.

We'll ignore the mormons when they call off the 52,000 missionaries out there trying to lead Christians away from God and forswear their goal to convert every soul whether living or dead to their unBiblical cult.

I find it hilarious when we are advised to "just ignore" the activities when you can barely turn on the radio or TV without hearing a commercial for mormonism.

[svcw]

I wonder why they have a Bible in the commercial and not the BM?
Surprising that the lds leaders don't sue them for copyright infringement.
Really though I think there are many of these young men think this type of “house hold” is actually waiting for them.

[Elsie]

Just a commentary that you are more concerned with what Mormons believe than you are with what you believe.

And to think you've said you've were not concerned about my beliefs.

How can you make a comparison then?

[Elsie]

You make a claim, which is easily refuted, then you try to skip over it and make another charge.

You think so?

Then DO it and quit CLAIMING you can do it.

[Elsie]

Im beginning to think your whole cabal is just 1 angry old lady with a bunch of screen names with the way you always show up together, have the same backstory, and the same cut and paste methods.

Ah... you're reacting to our posts!

Good!

Now if MORMONs would just begin to think as well.

[Elsie]

We're are BOTH gonna get zapped by Q! ;^)

[Elsie]

Nope, I would argue with you if you targeted Jews, Christians, Buddhists, or any other religion by trying to tie 1 person’s sins to an entire religion.

Ah!

So you LIKE to argue!

O...

K...

(Psst... we can 'tie' more than just ONE person's sins to an entire heresy!)

[Elsie]

Just because I debate your tactics and call you a jackass, you assume that I must be a Mormon.

Nah... just a potty-mouthed old fart with time on his hands.

[Elsie]

Joey Smith was known as “America’s Mohammad” from things he said and how he acted...

And, we'd post the EVIDENCE of this claim, but the MODERATOR would take it down, saying it was SPAM.

[svcw]

,-)

[Elsie]

trying to tie 1 person’s sins to an entire religion.

I DID post this; but the MODERATOR took it down - no REASON given.

[Elsie]

I surmise that Elsie is Presbyterian. That’s the nagging question he/she is always asking, about why Joseph said what he did about that sect. Part of Joseph Smith’s family was of that denomination, and he singled it out in the history, so Elsie always asks about it.

I'll help your surmising a bit.

ANYone would ask JS just WHERE and HOW and WHAT he supposedly 'learned' was UNTRUE about PRESBYTERIANism if they were REALLY unafraid of the answer.

You see; there is NOTHING in the rest of JS' history that can supply the answer.

It is RESTORNU who was the PRESBYTERIAN that converted to MORMONism; not me.

SHE is the one who avoids the QUESTION like Dracula and the Holy Water container!
