A mental health professional who counseled gay Mormons on how to overcome their sexual urges was charged with raping and forcibly sodomizing two former male patients, reports the Advocate.
Scott Dale Owen, 64, was charged with four counts of forcible sodomy and six counts of object rape in Utah’s 4th District Court in Provo on Monday, according to the Salt Lake City Tribune. He was arrested last Wednesday following a four-hour standoff with police after he missed a scheduled surrender.
The charges date from 2010 to 2017 and involve two men who sought help from Owen with their respective same-sex sexual attractions. The two men allege Owen kissed and cuddled them and touched them during counseling sessions. One man also alleges Owen fellated him on numerous occasions.
