Man charged with sexually abusing 12-year-old girl

Prosecutors filed rape and sexual abuse charges Friday against a 36-year-old Salt Lake City man accused of assaulting a 12-year-old girl.
Robert D. Thornton was charged in 3rd District Court with three counts of rape of a child, three counts of sodomy upon a child, three counts of aggravated sexual abuse of a child — all first-degree felonies— and one count of tampering with a witness, a third-degree felony.
Police discovered the abuse when an officer went to the home of the girl’s mother to check on the child’s welfare on Dec. 31, according to charging documents. The Tribune is not naming the mother to protect the girl’s identity.
The officer arrested Thornton and the mother, 33, on outstanding warrants, but the mother escaped after she was handcuffed. When a detective interviewed the girl, she said her mother had given her the prescription drugs Valium and Klonopin “to try.” She also told the detective that for the “past few months,” Thornton had been having sex with her and forcing her to perform oral sex two or three times, according to charging documents. He allegedly said he would “kill her if she told anyone.”
The mother, who is still at large, was charged with endangerment of a child and escape, both third-degree felonies.

A 30-year-old Sandy man, who served a prison sentence for sexual activity with a minor five years ago, was charged with raping a child and giving her alcohol at a home in Sandy around mid-December.
A teenager who was with the 13-year-old girl and another friend told police he saw Brad Jay Young making out and then later having sex with the 13-year-old girl at the home after all of them had consumed alcohol provided by Young.
Young was arrested on Thursday and booked into the Salt Lake County jail, where he is being held on $100,000 bail. He is charged with rape of a child, a first-degree felony, and three counts of supplying alcohol to a minor, a class A misdemeanor.
In 2005, Young pleaded guilty to two counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor, according to court documents. He is listed as a sex offender with the state.
He served time in the Utah State Prison for the offenses and was later released.
Young was also one of several residents of a Salt Lake City halfway house who in 2010 were charged with forging Utah Transit Authority bus passes to use and sell.
He was charged with a third-degree felony attempt to possess forgery writing or device, but pleaded guilty to a class A misdemeanor.
