“BOISE — More than once during the first day of testimony in the trial of a man accused of sexually abusing a teenage girl, the case’s alleged victim said she had tried to forget the things she had to testify about.
Now 17 years old, the girl, who will not be identified by the Idaho Press, was 15 and 16 at the time prosecutors say Darin Ogden, then 44, abused her. He faces eight charges, including four counts of lewd conduct with a child younger than 16. All but one of the charges he faces, disseminating material harmful to a minor, are felonies. Prosecutors say he committed those crimes throughout 2018, ending in September of that year, when police began to investigate.”
We’re investigating whether this is the same Darin Ogden mentioned in an LDS Church News article.

Darin Ogden faces up to life in prison after a jury convicted him of sexual exploitation of a child and sexual battery of a minor.
BOISE, Idaho — 46-year-old Darin Ogden was sentenced to up to 30 years in prison for sexual battery of a minor and producing child pornography. Ogden must serve a minimum of 15 years before becoming eligible for parole.
Ada County District Judge Michael J. Reardon also ordered Ogden to have no contact with minors for 30 years.
Ogden was arrested in September 2018 on charges of "lewd conduct, sexual battery with a minor, and production of sexually exploitative material of a child". He was found guilty of sexual battery and producing sexually exploitative material of children in March of this year.
"Thank you to the Boise Police Department for conducting a thorough investigation. The hard work of the detectives helped my office ensure justice was served and helped us keep our community and our most vulnerable victims safe," Ada County Prosecutor Jan M. Bennetts said in a press release.
Odgen will not be eligible for parole until at least 2035.
