- Brady, a former Maple Mountain High coach, was fired Feb. 5 after the allegations emerged.
SPANISH FORK — An assistant basketball coach at Maple Mountain High School was charged Monday with trading alcohol for sexual favors from teenage girls.
Benjamin Beau Brady, 27, of Mapleton, is charged in 4th District Court with two counts of forcible sodomy, a first-degree felony; four counts of forcible sexual abuse, a second-degree felony; and two counts of providing alcohol to a minor, a class A misdemeanor.
The case was transferred to the 3rd District Court shortly thereafter "due to the recusal of judicial officers in the 4th District Court," according to court documents. Brady's father was a judge in Utah's 4th District Court.
A Nebo School District spokesman says Brady was fired on Feb. 5.
"As soon as the district learned of the allegations, the individual was immediately terminated," district spokesman Seth Sorensen told KSL.
On Nov. 1, Brady contacted a 17-year-old girl on Snapchat and "said he would buy her and her 17-year-old friend alcohol if they would meet with him in a parking lot" and engage in sexual acts with him, according to charging documents.
The teen that Brady reached out to agreed, according to the charges. Her friend "did not want to do anything" with Brady but went along to the parking lot. The three met in Provo, got into the back of Brady's truck and Brady sexually abused both teens, the charges allege.
"When he was done, he gave them alcohol and left," according to charging documents.
About a week later, Provo police were contacted. When questioned by a detective, Brady said he went by the name "Carson" to keep his private life separate, according to a police booking affidavit.
"I asked him what he does with his private life and he said that he didn't want to answer that question. Benjamin told me that he has met up with the one juvenile multiple times and has met with her ... friends multiple times. Benjamin said that he vaguely remembers something happening in Provo with the two victims. Benjamin would not tell me about what all happened in the truck and wanted me to tell him what happened, but did say that everything that happened in the truck was consensual," the officer wrote in the affidavit. "Benjamin later mentioned that he wants to retain a lawyer," and the questioning was stopped.
