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.

You are right; I DID leave out what YOU said, because YOU said HE defined it!

I thought he was calling you...

NO where in what HE typed is there a 'definition'.

If there is; PLEASE...

Point it out to us!

You thought when he said BINGO! that he was calling me? Just for the record, I am not a farmer’s dog in a children’s song :)

Seriously though, I put what I thought he meant, and he said bingo, as in he agrees. So that is him defining it.

I put what I thought he meant...

Again; I do NOT care what YOU 'think' he meant; but am waiting for HIM to define his terms.

Actually, I think you just agreed that you are lacking, which is pretty true.

He agreed with my statement on what he meant. I dont know what elsie you possibly want.

But I guess the cult kool-aid does do unfortunate things to the brain, like remove an ability to understand a conversation.

After re-re-reading the post; it appears that you are right in the way it could be interpreted.

All that said; MORMONism is STILL a heresy; based loosely on Christianity.

See, thats the problem. We just had a conversation on whether someone attacked your religion, and upon the conclusion of it, you attacked Mormonism.

That last little sentence you put in had nothing to do with the conversation we were having. But you threw it in anyway. That leads me to believe that you dont really care what anyone else says and you have no intention of listening. You just want to keep throwing down your talking point. Its like talking to Hannity online.

We could probably have a civil, informative conversation if you were only interested in what other people had to say.

Did I not conclude that you were right in #411?

I consider THAT part of the conversation over.

If you do not wish to respond to my next statement, that's ok, we'll just leave this thread alone.
