A Grantsville man faces felony child sex abuse charges after he allegedly fondled a victim under the age of 15.
Kyle Toone, 38, has been charged with three counts of first-degree felony aggravated sexual abuse of child for separate incidents that occurred last year. Toone made his initial appearance in Third District Court on June 30 and was ordered to have no contact with minor children by Judge Robert Adkins.
According to a Grantsville City Police report, Toone allegedly touched the victim under their clothing while he thought they were asleep and the severity in the degree of fondling escalated in the ensuing encounters last fall.
In a statement to police, the victim said Toone attempted to touch them on several additional occasions but were able to prevent Toone’s attempts while feigning sleep.
Toone admitted to the inappropriate touching during an interview with police, according to the report. Toone also said he thought the victim was asleep and hoped they would not know what he had done, the police report said.
At his initial appearance in Third District Court, a roll call hearing was scheduled for Toone at 1:30 p.m. at the Tooele County Courthouse.
