MORGAN COUNTY, Utah, Jan. 7, 2026 (Gephardt Daily) — Morgan County Sheriff investigators assisted in an Indiana child molestation case which was resolved this week with a plea deal and sentencing.
“Morgan County Sheriff Investigators were contacted in November 2024 by Investigators with the Elkhart County Sheriff’s Office, in Indiana, regarding assistance with a case that occurred in their jurisdiction,” says a statement issued Wednesday by the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office.
