2. BYU baseball player arrested on child lewdness charge
SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — Candon Dahle, a senior baseball pitcher at Brigham Young University, was arrested Friday night on a no-bail order.
Dahle, 23, was booked into the Utah County Jail shortly after 7 p.m. on Feb. 7, less than an hour after his arrest by Provo police.
According to booking records, Dahle is accused of lewdness involving a child. Under Utah law, lewdness involving a child refers to an adult engaging in sexual conduct in the presence of a child under the age of 14. This includes exposing intimate body parts, performing sexual acts, or engaging in other sexually inappropriate behavior.
Dahle, an Idaho native, transferred to BYU from the College of Southern Idaho, which he attended from 2021 to 2023.

3. Former BYU baseball starter from Blackfoot charged in two counties for alleged sex abuse of children
ST. ANTHONY — A 21-year-old former Brigham Young University baseball player who is originally from Blackfoot has been charged in two counties, accusing him of sexually assaulting children.
Candon Dean Dahle is charged in Fremont County with felony lewd conduct with a child under 16 years old.
According to court documents, Dahle allegedly sexually assaulted an 11-year-old on or about Jan. 1, 2022. Court documents say during the assault, Dahle “did place his hand over the victim’s mouth.”
In this case, Dahle was given a $50,000 bond, and a no-contact order was issued for the victim. During his initial appearance on Friday, Magistrate Judge Faren Eddins ordered if Dahle posts bail, he will not be allowed to have unsupervised contact with minors.
Dahle is expected to appear for a preliminary hearing on Feb. 26. If convicted, he could face up to life in prison.
Juvenile Case
Court documents obtained by EastIdahoNews.com indicate Dahle is also charged in Bingham County for a juvenile case regarding felony lewd conduct with a minor under sixteen. According to the documents, Dahle allegedly sexually assaulted a child when he was a young teenager.
Dahle was arrested in Provo, Utah, on Feb. 7 and extradited from the Utah County Jail in Spanish Fork, Utah, to the Bingham County Jail in Blackfoot on Feb. 14.
It is not clear if or when further details will be available for the juvenile case. EastIdahoNews.com has contacted Bingham County Prosecutor Ryan Jolley, who has declined to comment while the investigation is still ongoing.
In researching, EastIdahoNews.com sent a public records request to the Bingham County courts, where we received the following documents: a motion to waive jurisdiction under the Juvenile Correction Act, an order for investigation pursuant to I.C. 20-508, a juvenile petition, and a warrant of arrest.
We also sent a public records request to the Bingham County Prosecutors Office, which was denied pursuant to Idaho Juvenile Rule 52 for closed hearings.
Court documents indicate Dahle posted bail in Bingham County on Tuesday and was released.
BYU Media Relations Manager Todd Hollingshead confirmed to EastIdahoNews.com that Dahle is no longer enrolled at BYU. He was first enrolled at BYU in 2024, after transferring from the College of Southern Idaho.

4. Former BYU baseball starter accused of child sexual assault pleads guilty to lesser charges
ST. ANTHONY, Idaho — A 22-year-old former BYU baseball starter has pleaded guilty to lesser felony charges after he was accused of sexually assaulting a minor.
Candon Dean Dahle initially pleaded not guilty in Fremont County, Idaho, to felony lewd conduct with a child under 16 years old.
But on May 9, Dahle accepted a plea agreement in which he agreed to plead guilty to two lesser charges of felony injury to a child, in exchange for the prosecution agreeing to dismiss similar pending charges in Bingham County, Idaho, and to recommend probation at sentencing.
Both prosecution and defense will be able to argue for an underlying sentence or local jail time at sentencing.
Dahle is expected to appear for sentencing on July 8.
According to court minutes, Dahle admitted that the two crimes he pleaded guilty to happened in Fremont County. Court documents say Fremont County Prosecutor Lindsey Blake told the court there are "other allegations" that the prosecution has decided not to pursue.
Dahle was arrested on Feb. 7 in Utah County on a juvenile court warrant out of Idaho for lewd conduct with a child. According to extradition documents, an alleged sexual crime was committed in Bingham County while Dahle was a juvenile. As it was a juvenile case, the details of the case are sealed.
As part of last week's plea agreement, the juvenile case will now be dismissed.
Many of the court documents for the Fremont County case are sealed to the public, but an affidavit of probable cause states Dahle "allegedly sexually assaulted an 11-year-old on or about Jan. 1, 2022." Court documents also say that during the assault, Dahle "did place his hand over the victim's mouth."
Dahle was a senior baseball pitcher at Brigham Young University in Provo but is originally from Blackfoot, Idaho. His athlete information has since been taken off the BYU baseball website.
BYU Media Relations Manager Todd Hollingshead confirmed to EastIdahoNews.com that Dahle is no longer enrolled at BYU. He was first enrolled at BYU in 2024, after transferring from the College of Southern Idaho in Twin Falls.
