SALT LAKE COUNTY -- A Tooele man serving prison time for sexually abusing teenage boys told the parole board that he's abused more victims.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports Curtis Crittenden, 34, was sent to prison for sexually abusing six teenagers from Wendover at his Tooele home in the summer of 2007.
Thursday he told members of the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole he actually had 15 victims dating back to 1994.
In addition to the six counts he's serving time for, Crittenden claims he admitted to fondling four boys in Logan between 1999 and 2002. No charges were filed in those cases.
That would still leave five unaccounted victims.
The Tribune reports Crittenden lured the teens through 4-H, an agriculture and leadership youth group. Crittenden says he let the boys stay at his home when they visited Tooele to participate in a soccer league. He said he'd touch many of them while they were asleep.
A soccer coach of some of the victims says Crittenden threatened to have the boys deported if they reported the abuse.
The parole board should decide Crittenden's fate within three weeks.
