Elderly Aurora man charged in second
child sex abuse case
Hannah LeoneAurora Beacon-News
Decades-old child sexual abuse charges have been filed against an elderly Aurora man who was already facing sex assault and abuse charges in a more recent case, according to Kane County Court records.
Bail is set at $250,000 for Inocente Delgado, 78, of the 500 block of Binder Street, according to jail records.
He was obviously mis-named by his parents.
Court records show Delgado was charged Wednesday with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse involving a victim who was younger than 13 when the alleged offenses occurred. All class 2 felonies, the new charges indicate at least one incident of the alleged abuse occurred on or about Oct. 30, 1989.
He was already facing charges filed in May that include five counts of predatory criminal sexual assault involving a victim younger than 13 and four counts of aggravated sexual abuse charges, at least one alleged to have taken place in May 2015. Two of the abuse charges state the alleged victim was younger than 13, while the other two state the victim was both younger than 18 and was someone Delgado knew. The assault charges are class X felonies, meaning conviction could bring enhanced penalties.
Former teacher arrested for alleged
child sex abuse in Orem
By MARIAH NOBLE | The Salt Lake Tribune
An 81-year-old retired teacher has been arrested on suspicion of sexual abusing a girl in Orem.
On June 12, the Utah Division of Child and Family Services reported to police that a 14-year-old girl said she had been sexually abused by Kenneth Higa, according to a news release from the Orem Police Department.
A detective investigated the report and arrested Higa on Wednesday, the release said. He is being held at the Utah County jail on suspicion of six counts of aggravated forcible sex abuse, a first-degree felony, and two counts of object rape, a second-degree felony.
Police suspect there may be more victims because Higa "has been in a position where he has been around children for the past 30 years," according to the release.
Police are asking that any other victims call 801-229-7070 and ask to talk with Detective Johnson.
Higa was a faculty member at John F. Kennedy Junior High School in West Valley City from the early 1990s until at least 2005. During his time there, he taught courses in U.S. history, according to a former student.
Higa also has been an active member of the Utah karate community.

Cullman man faces multiple charges of
child sex abuse
CULLMAN COUNTY, Ala. — A Cullman man is facing multiple charges child sex abuse, according to the Cullman County Sheriff's Office.
Henry Dewey Loyd, 44, was arrested following a three-month long investigation after authorities say the suspect targeted someone he knew using social media. Loyd is accused of arranging to meet the juvenile through social media to commit an illegal act.
The victim came forward to investigators following the incident, which resulted in warrants for Loyd's arrest.
Loyd is charged with second degree rape, second degree sodomy, traveling to meet a child for an unlawful act, electronic solicitation of a child and transmitting obscene material to a minor. He is being held at the Cullman County Detention Center on bonds totaling $180,000.
“I would like to make all parents aware that social media like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, etc have their good points however sexual predators are constantly on them as well trying to entice your children. I can’t in the strongest terms recommend to parents to check your children’s social media pages and private messages to see who they are speaking with because the predators are constantly looking for victims. I would also like to thank our investigators for the job they did on this case," said Sheriff Matt Gentry in a news release.
Investigators say due to the graphic nature of the case they will not be releasing any details relating to the crimes.

Alford Plea Makes 13 Charges of
Child Sex Abuse Disappear
A Casper man accused of sexually abusing a young girl over a period of more than two and a half years, as well as knocking his then-wife unconscious and raping her, entered an Alford plea to a single charge Thursday in Natrona County District Court.
Samson Dean Emerson, 34, entered an Alford plea to one count of second-degree sexual abuse of a minor as part of a plea agreement. In exchange, the state agreed to dismiss 13 additional charges filed against Emerson in a second amended information.
Emerson was initially charged with six counts of first-degree sexual abuse of a minor, six counts of incest and two counts of third-degree sexual assault.
By entering an Alford plea, Emerson asserts his innocence and does not admit to the crime. However, he does admit the state has evidence which would likely persuade a judge or jury to find him guilty of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt.
Assistant District Attorney Brett Johnson will ask that Natrona County District Court Judge Catherine Wilking sentence Emerson to 10-20 years in prison. Wilking deferred acceptance of the plea agreement pending receipt of the presentence investigation report, noting that she could impose a harsher sentence if, after reading that report, she determines the agreed upon sentence to be too lenient.
Should that happen, Emerson would be allowed to withdraw his plea.
Charging documents say Emerson moved in with the father of the victim in 2014. In September 2016, a Natrona County Sheriff's deputy responded to a home in Bar Nunn and was told by the victim -- who was 12 or 13 years old at the time -- that Emerson started "touching" her shortly after he moved in.
In a forensic interview at the Children's Advocacy Project in Casper, the girl said Emerson had touched her 10-15 times, usually when her parents were gone.
The first time it happened, the victim said, Emerson asked her to watch a movie with him. The two sat on the edge of Emerson's bed before Emerson put a blanket over the victim and started to touch her.
The victim got up and ran out of the bedroom. After that incident, the "touching" started happening more frequently.
On one occasion, Emerson sexually abused the victim in the living room. During the forensic interview, the victim described the act as what Emerson "usually does."
But eventually, he stopped and took the victim into a bathroom, saying he had something to show her.
Once inside the bathroom, Emerson closed and locked the door. The victim said she had to crouch so Emerson could not pull her pants down.
During another incident, Emerson told the victim he had taken "shrooms" -- a slang term typically used to describe psilocybin mushrooms, a hallucinogenic drug -- and said the "shrooms" made him aroused.
The victim tried unsuccessfully to push Emerson away before he touched her again. He reportedly asked her if she "liked it."
Emerson told the victim he would buy her anything she wanted if she didn't tell anyone about what he was doing.
The "last time" it happened, the victim told the forensic interviewer, was the weekend of Aug. 20. Emerson was in his bedroom playing video games, but when the victim's father left the house, Emerson asked her if she wanted to watch television with him.
The victim said she would, as long as Emerson didn't touch her.
"That's not what happened," the victim explained during the forensic interview. "He touched me." It was this incident to which Emerson entered the Alford plea in court Thursday.
Later in the investigation, on Nov. 8, a Natrona County Sheriff's investigator spoke with Emerson's ex-wife. She reportedly said Emerson raped her after knocking her unconscious during a fight on Sept. 17, 2010.
She had been married to Emerson at that time, and on that night Emerson attacked her because he believed she was cheating on him.
During the assault, the victim said, Emerson hit her at the base of her skull. She remembered a sharp pain and then blackness.
When she woke up, Emerson was raping her. She told the investigator that after the assault, she was interviewed by two male Casper police officers, but was too uncomfortable to tell them about the sexual assault.
She "also did not want the humiliation of having a sexual assault examination," court documents say.
Also on Nov. 8, the investigator interviewed Emerson at the Natrona County Sheriff's Office. Emerson said he had "an attraction to younger people," charging papers say, but said he "would never intentionally do anything" to the victim.
As to the alleged sexual assault of his ex-wife, Emerson admitted to knocking her unconscious during the fight, but said he merely put her on the bed afterward and did not engage in sexual contact.
However, a polygraph examination of Emerson the following day revealed a "high level of deception" as Emerson answered "no" to every question asked regarding the allegations.
Had the case gone to trial, Johnson may have presented evidence of Emerson's prior criminal history under Wyoming Rule of Evidence 404(b).
In a motion filed May 15, Johnson requested to show at trial that Emerson was previously convicted of one count of indecent liberties with a minor on March 21, 2002.
Emerson was 18 years old at the time, and the victim in that case was 15 years old.
Charging papers in that case say after a night of dancing in Casper in April 2001, the victim wasn't feeling well and wanted to go home. Her friend had gone to an afterparty before the victim could speak with her.
Emerson told the victim he could take her home, but they would have to go to his grandmother's house to get his grandmother's car.
After getting a ride back to the house, Emerson's grandmother reportedly denied him use of the car at such a late hour. The victim later told a police detective that she thought it was strange that Emerson's grandmother wouldn't let him take her home.
A couple of hours later, the victim woke up on a bed with Emerson on top of her. Her clothes were off, and Emerson was raping her. Emerson reportedly apologized repeatedly and said "he thought it was okay since he liked her," according to court documents.
In that case, Emerson received a suspended prison sentence of two and a half to four years. Instead of serving that sentence, Emerson was ordered to complete three and a half years of supervised probation and perform 60 hours of community service.
After Emerson entered his plea Thursday, defense attorney Kerri Johnson asked that Emerson be held without bond pending sentencing. Wilking granted Johnson's request.
