Sheriff’s deputies arrested Marko Jvar Dutson – a registered sex offender in Arizona – on a felony count of sex abuse, Mohave County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Trish Carter said in a statement.

Investigations into Dutson began Sept. 11 after authorities received a child molestation complaint, Carter said.

The 14-year-old girl’s father told investigators that Dutson, a relative of the family, had inappropriately touched his daughter Sept. 3 at his residence, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

“During the investigation, Dutson admitted to his involvement,” Carter said.

At approximately 1 p.m. Thursday, Dutson was arrested without incident at a Centennial Park residence.

Dutson was transported and booked into the Washington County Purgatory Correctional Facility.

Persons arrested or charged are presumed innocent until found guilty in a court of law or as otherwise decided by a trier-of-fact.

I use to be in this family left the FLDS when my kids were young. and this man is the father of my 2 kids and his other children. and It is for the Judge to take care of it here and God to take care of it after. please think of the people affected by this.
