LOGAN — A 20-year-old Logan man has been arrested for allegedly raping a 13-year-old girl from North Logan, according to law enforcement. Walter Adonay Vasquez-Aguilar was booked Oct. 21 into the Cache County Jail.
According to an affidavit of probable cause, North Park Police officers received a call on Oct. 13 from the alleged victim and her mother. They described how the girl was receiving explicit photos and threatening messages from an unknown person on social media.
While investigating that case, officers searched the alleged victim’s laptop and phone and discovered a video of the girl and a male individual engaged in sexual activities. The man appeared to be a Hispanic male with dark hair that was down past his ears and a mustache.
The alleged victim was interviewed at the Cache Children’s Justice Center. She told investigators she met the unidentified male on Snapchat and communicated several times. After several days, he reportedly drove to her home in a silver car, picked her up and drove to a residence in west Logan, where he allegedly raped her, according to court paperwork.
The girl did not know the suspect’s name, but was able to show officers the home he had driven her to. It was located northwest of Woodruff Elementary School.
On Oct. 21, police went to the residence and observed a silver car in the driveway. When they knocked on the door, Vasquez-Aguilar, who matched the suspect’s description, answered, court paperwork detailed.
Officers asked Vasquez-Aguilar if he remembered driving the alleged victim to his home. He reportedly stated that he couldn’t remember her because he has a lot of girls down in his room. After being shown the video taken from girl’s phone, he allegedly confessed and was arrested.
Vasquez-Aguilar made an initial appearance Friday in Logan’s 1st District Court. He was charged with rape of a child, sodomy on a child, object rape of a child and aggravated sexual abuse of a child, all first-degree felonies.
Judge Spencer Walsh ordered Vasquez-Aguilar to remain in jail without bail due to the severity of the charges and the threat to the alleged victim. The next court appearance is scheduled for Nov. 5.
Individuals arrested and charged in complaints are presumed innocent unless or until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in court.
