STAFF WRITER.
Three men were charged on six counts of felony aggravated assault because =of the exceissive fore they used to restrain 38 trespassing youth at St. Anne’s retreat last Friday, Cache County Attorney Scott Wyatt said.
The three men who have been identified as John Lemon Jeppson, Christopher Lynn Doerr and Arthur Benjamin Peasnall.
Aggravated assault is a third degree felony, under Utah law, and carries with it a possible sentence of up to five years in prison.
“What we charged them with will be sufficient in a trial and more than sufficient for sentencing,” Wyatt said.
“They went a few steps too far,” Wyatt said. “Their conduct with respect to these kids after they were bound and secure is what brought the charges.”
Charges were filed because the suspects apparently used guns and rope to detain the youth and threatened their lives, ‘Wyatt said.
The owners of St. Anne’s retreat has requested to dismiss criminal trespassing charges against the 38 youth who illegally entered their property on Friday.
“They expressed to me they are saddened by the treatment the youth received and are sympathetic to what they are going through,” Wyatt said.
“The alleged excessive conduct of these men was unfortunate and in no way authorized by the property owners.”
Charges would not be filed in response to one girl’s complain that she had been inappropriately touched.
“The law is real specific on a sexual-abuse case,” said Cache County Sheriff Lynn Nelson. The defendants claim they were “patting down the kids for weapons.”
Some of the youth involved are still undergoing counseling because of the incide [incident].
