LOGAN — A 39-year-old Providence man has been arrested for allegedly molesting a 7-year-old girl, according to law enforcement. Marshall Shaun Simcox was temporarily booked into the Cache County Jail, March 6, after a judge signed a warrant for his arrest.
According to the warrant affidavit, Smithfield City police officers received a call from a woman last December, claiming her daughter had been sexually assaulted by a family member. The crimes occurred several times.
The alleged victim was interviewed at the Children’s Justice Center in Washington City. She told investigators how Simcox had allegedly inappropriately touched her several times. The incidents occurred both at her home and a relative’s residence.
According to court records, Simox was charged in 1st District Court with two counts of aggravated sexual abuse of a child, a first-degree felony. He is scheduled to be arraigned March 26.
Simcox is currently out of jail after posting a $20,000 bond. He could face up to life in prison, if convicted.
Individuals arrested and charged in complaints are presumed innocent unless or until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in court.
