SALT LAKE CITY — A Sandy man accused of sexually abusing a mother and her daughter and biting the woman’s son in a sexual assault in their home was acquitted of all charges Friday by a jury.
Efrey Antonio Guzman, 48, who was branch president of an LDS Spanish-speaking branch in Midvale and was released from his church position after the allegations were made, was found not guilty of all four counts of aggravated sexual assault, aggravated burglary, sex abuse of a child and forcible sexual abuse.
“I’m really grateful,” Guzman said after the trial. “Great judicial system. I believe in it.
“I’m innocent. All the time I was saying ‘I’m innocent.'”
Outside the courtroom, the GPS ankle monitor that he had been required to wear while the trial was pending was cut off.
