After 4-day trial, jury finds southern Utah man guilty of aggravated sexual abuse of child

CEDAR CITY — A man has been found guilty of sexually abusing a 6-year-old child at a day care in Parowan more than eight years ago.

Monday afternoon in Cedar City, a jury found Dylan Christian Stubbs, 30, guilty of a single count of aggravated sexual abuse of a child, a first-degree felony.

The eight-member panel deliberated for approximately 45 minutes before returning its verdict.

After being selected last Tuesday, the jury heard four days' worth of testimony and arguments before rendering its verdict shortly before 4 p.m. Monday. Fifth District Judge Jeffrey C. Wilcox presided over the trial.

According to charging documents filed with the court, the incident in question occurred sometime between December 2016 and March 2017, when Stubbs had the 6-year-old girl sit on his lap while they reportedly sat on a couch or chair and watched a video on his phone during nap time. Meanwhile, Stubbs's girlfriend/eventual wife, who owned and operated the licensed day care out of her home, was in the kitchen making lunch.
