Utah Couple Charged With Raping Teen Daughter Say It Was 'Safer For Her' Than Hooking Up With Strangers!

[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content]

A couple in Utah has been arrested on rape charges, new court docs reveal — and horrifyingly, the alleged victim was their own 15-year-old daughter.

Per KSL News, the couple was taken into custody on Thursday in the city of Provo. They were charged with three counts each: forcible sodomy, object rape, and forcible sexual abuse. Per jail records reported on by ABC 4 and others, the man also faces an additional charge of rape. Neither the man nor woman have been named in media reports, as outlets don’t wish to reveal the girl’s identity by naming her parents.

The ordeal started on Thursday morning when cops received a call directly from the 15-year-old in question. She claimed her stepfather — a man described as being in his mid-30s — had been raping her for more than a year. When cops arrived to question the teen, per KUTV, she told them both the man and the woman had been engaging in sexual activity with her since she was just 14 years old. Then, per KSL citing the arrest affidavit, the couple allegedly immediately admitted to the accusations when police questioned them. WTF?!

The arrest affidavit claims that things started last year when the couple first learned the teenager was interacting with men online. She had supposedly shared photos of herself “in sexual situations” with strangers on Snapchat, per the docs. Any parent would be shocked and disturbed at that, of course. But then the couple then did the unthinkable. Per the affidavit:

“Safer for her…”?? Being raped by her parents would make her SAFE??

OMG…

The affidavit states the couple approached the girl together after her 14th
