Cache County man admits to sexually assaulting 12-year-old girl, sentenced to one year in jail
CACHE COUNTY, Utah () — A Cache County man was sentenced Wednesday to a year of jail time after he admitted to sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl. Jaime Miguel Cordero, 20, pleaded guilty to four counts of sexual battery, a class A misdemeanor, and one charge of aggravated sexual assault resulting in serious bodily injury, a second degree felony. He was sentenced to 364 days in the Cache County Jail and 48 months of probation according to sentencing documents. Cordero was originally charged in April 2024 with three counts of aggravated sexual abuse of a child, a first degree felony, and one charge of child abuse with injury, a class a misdemeanor. His charges were amended to lesser charges because he took a plea deal. Former St. George Police Officer charged with alleged child abuse According to the filed information, Cordero sexually assaulted a friend's 12-year-old sister during a sleepover. He had stayed the night in the family's basement to play video games and drink with the victim's older brother. In a drunken state, Cordero reportedly entered the victim's room repeatedly over the course of an hour, and each time, he laid on top of her and bit her forehead, arms, and neck. Police also said that he touched her inappropriately. The victim's older brother reported the incident to police and told them that he found Cordero on top of his sister in her bedroom after he noticed Cordero gone from the basement. The victim's younger brother was also reportedly in the bedroom at the time. When Cordero was arrested, he admitted that he had been drinking the night of the incident, and he had been drinking so much that he only remembered entering the victim's bedroom once. However, he did admit to biting her. Charges are allegations only. All arrested persons are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
