Riverdale man charged with sexually assaulting, giving alcohol to underage teen, documents say
Charges are allegations only. All arrested persons are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. RIVERDALE, Utah () — A 28-year-old man has been charged with sexually assaulting an underage teenage girl after giving her alcohol. Kyle Anthony Hird, 28, has been charged with two felony counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a 16/17-year-old and one misdemeanor charge of knowingly offering alcohol to a minor. According to documents, a juvenile victim contacted police on Feb. 3, 2025. She told officials that someone she knew from work, Hird, had invited her to his residence the night before. There, he gave her alcohol and sexually assaulted her, and she did not consent but 'was too intoxicated to stop' him. Daycare employee charged with sexually abusing children, documents say Using the victim's Snapchat, a Riverdale City Police officer contacted Hird and asked what had happened the night before. Hird allegedly responded that he would only speak about the incident in person, saying, 'Please understand I cannot get in trouble for anything, my kids can't [lose] their dads and s–.' Police located and interviewed Hird regarding what happened. He allegedly denied providing the minor victim with alcohol and said that no sexual contact had happened. However, Hird did acknowledge that he was aware of her age. A search warrant for Hird's DNA was filed and approved. On June 11, 2025, the forensic report from a Code R Kit (used to test for sexual assault) performed on the victim provided 'very strong support' that Hird's DNA was a match. Hird has been booked into the Weber County Jail and is currently being held without bail.
