(KUTV) A former LDS church leader accused of sexually assaulting a family has been found not guilty.

A jury ruled that Efrey Guzman was not guilty on all four counts against him including aggravated sexual assault, sex abuse of a child and aggravated burglary.

Charges were filed back in 2012 after a woman accused Guzman of trying to rape her.

Prosecutors claimed when the woman’s son tried to stop the attack, Guzman bit the son’s penis through his boxer shorts. After listening to five days of testimony including Guzman himself the jury acquitted him on all charges.
