Man accused of sexually assaulting teenage girl twice on Utah junior high school campus
Samuel Shermen Cryder, age 18, faces 15 felony-level charges, nearly all of which are sex offenses.
According to court documents, Cryder met the girl in person for the first time on April 20 during the school's lunch hour. The girl said Cryder touched her against her will, both over and under her clothing, and wouldn't let her leave despite her resisting. Her account was corroborated by footage from the school's surveillance cameras, which show that this went on for about 30 minutes. At that point, the girl tried to leave when the lunch period ended.
Cryder returned the next day, just after school ended. The girl said he again touched her without her consent, but this time held her wrists so forcefully that they had visible red marks the whole rest of the day.She was eventually able to get away. Police say he texted her and attempted to"entice" her to meet up again, but she did not want to because she was scared.
Police said while the alleged assaults did not occur in the school building, they were on school property. Cryder turns 19 years old soon and is not a student at the school.
