LOGAN — A 44-year-old Logan man already facing charges for allegedly molesting a young girl several years ago has been arrested again for sexually abusing two other girls. Dustin James Creager was booked Friday afternoon into the Cache County Jail, where he is being held, pending arraignment of formal charges.
According to an arrest affidavit, the two latest alleged victims described being sexually abused by Creager when they were younger. The crimes reportedly occurred multiple times between 2017 and 2021.
The girls both gave police similar accounts of being molested by Creager, who had a position of trust with them. He also would allegedly force them to inappropriately touch him.
One of the alleged victims described how the suspect threatened her if she reported the abuse. The other claimed she was abused frequently over an 11 year period, the probable cause statement detailed.
Police attempted to question Creager about the latest allegations. He refused to cooperate and invoked his right to legal counsel.
According to jail records, Creager was booked on 12 counts of aggravated sexual abuse of a child, a first-degree felony; and 10 counts of forcible sexual abuse, a second-degree felony.
Creager was originally arrested in February 2022, after a girl claimed she was molested and groped by the suspect while visiting his house. He was later bound over on three charges of forcible sexual abuse, a second-degree felony.
The incident reportedly occurred on Dec. 26, 2019.
Creager had pleaded “not guilty” to the crimes and was set for a three day jury trial, beginning May 31. He had been allowed pretrial release and granted $10,000 bail.
Following Friday’s arrest, police stated in the probable cause paperwork, Creager “constitutes a substantial danger to another individual or to the community, or is likely to flee the jurisdiction of the court if released on bail.” They also warned that he could commit more crimes against children if allowed out of jail again.
Creager will be arraigned next week in 1st District Court. He could face up to life in prison, if convicted on the new charges.
Individuals arrested and charged in complaints are presumed innocent unless or until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in court.
