  Daniel Scott Larsen, the former wrestling coach at Winslow High School, has been sentenced to six years in prison for sex crimes.

  WINSLOW, Ariz. — A former Arizona high school wrestling coach has been sentenced to prison for abusing minors over the course of several years.

  Daniel Scott Larsen, 40, was sentenced last week in Navajo County Superior Court to six years in prison after the former Winslow High School coach pleaded guilty to multiple sex crimes.

  Larsen admitted to sexually abusing a high school student from the time the victim was 15, according to the Navajo County Attorney's Office.

  The defendant was additionally found guilty of abusing three other victims who were extended family members of Larsen's.

  “These crimes spanned decades and affected children ages five to 15, when the abuse of each of the four minor victims began,” Navajo County Attorney Brad Carlyon said in a statement. “It takes courage to come forward, whether it’s been a few hours, a few years, or a few decades since a crime occurred."

  After serving his prison sentence, Larsen will be placed on supervised probation for 15 years, register as a sex offender, and perform 300 hours of community service.

  Larsen was indicted by a grand jury for over 20 counts of various sex crimes back in October 2022. Many of the charges dated back to the 1990s.

  He pleaded guilty to sexual conduct with a minor, attempted sexual conduct with a minor, and three counts of public sexual indecency to a minor.

  WINSLOW, Ariz. - Former Winslow High School wrestling coach Daniel Scott Larsen, 40, was sentenced on March 10, 2023, to six years in prison and 15 years of supervised probation after pleading guilty in Navajo County Superior Court to sex crimes involving minor children.

  Larsen pleaded guilty in February to sexual conduct with a minor at least 15 years of age while in a position of trust, a class 2 felony; attempted sexual conduct with a minor at least 15 years of age while in a position of trust, a class 3 felony; and three counts of public sexual indecency to a minor, a class 5 felony.

  Larsen’s recent offenses involved the frequent sexual victimization of a high school student over a period of four years, beginning in 2014 when the student was 15 years old. The other three victims included in this case were Larsen’s extended family members who were young girls at the time they were victimized, beginning in the 1990’s. The youngest was five.

  Superior Court Judge Pro Tem Jon H. Saline ordered the prison sentence, which will be carried out with the Arizona Department of Corrections. Saline imposed sex offender terms on Larsen’s probation, which requires him to register as a sex offender, refrain from contact with his victims without court approval, and to refrain from contact with anyone under 18 years of age, except for his own children or grandchildren. He must also undergo community supervision upon release from prison and perform 300 hours of community service.

  Citing the ongoing repercussions victims may be suffering due to Larsen’s actions, the court ordered that restitution to victims be kept open until the end of Larsen’s probation period, in the event victims incur additional counseling and other treatment costs. Larsen is also being assessed various fines, court and probation fees.

  The Navajo County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Unit investigated the initial reports of sexual abuse allegations against Larsen, and Oct. 18, 2022, he was indicted by the Navajo County Grand Jury.

  “These crimes spanned decades and affected children ages five to 15, when the abuse of each of the four minor victims began,” said Navajo County Attorney Brad Carlyon. “It takes courage to come forward, whether it’s been a few hours, a few years or a few decades since a crime occurred. We applaud the courage of these women and are gratified to achieve an outcome where the offender admitted his guilt in court, and a measure of justice is being served.”

  Carlyon concludes, “I’m grateful to the Navajo County Sheriff’s Office for thoroughly investigating this case, and to our prosecutorial and victims advocate team for working with victims and the court. Crimes against children cannot go unanswered. We hope there can be greater healing for the victims and their families.”

  A former Winslow High School wrestling coach has been indicted by a Navajo County Grand Jury on 14 counts of Sexual Misconduct with a Minor, Child Molestation, Dangerous Crimes against a Child, and Solicitation of a Child.

  The Navajo County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Unit conducted an investigation into reports of sexual abuse allegations against Daniel Scott Larsen, age 40 of Winslow.

  According to the Sheriff’s Office, between August 2021 and May 2022, reports were received from four women stating they were sexually abused by Larsen. The crimes reported occurred between the years of 1993- 1999 in the Winslow area within Navajo County Jurisdiction.

  In June 2022, a 23-year-old female reported that between the years of 2014-2017, she was sexually abused by Larsen. At the time this occurred, the female was a student and attended Winslow High School, while Larsen was a wrestling coach and worked for the school district.

  “Crimes against children are an absolute priority to me and the entire Navajo County Sheriff’s Office. We pray for the victims in these cases and hope they can find healing in their recovery from this difficult situation,” said Sheriff Clouse. “Investigations such as this, take a lot of time and persistence in the investigative portion and in the courtroom. I want to thank the NCSO Criminal Investigations Unit for their work in this case. I also want to speak to all victims in the county, if you or someone you know is in a position of danger please reach out to us or someone you trust for help.”

  A former high school wrestling coach was sentenced on March 10 to six years in prison followed by 15 years of supervised probation after pleading guilty to various sex crimes involving minors in Navajo County Superior Court last month.

  The man, 40-year-old Daniel Larson who worked at Winslow High School, pleaded guilty to the following charges:

  Sexual conduct with a minor at least 15 years of age while in a position of trust.
  Attempted sexual conduct with a minor at least 15 years of age while in a position of trust.
  Three counts of public sexual indecency to a minor.

  "Larsen’s recent offenses involved the frequent sexual victimization of a high school student over a period of four years, beginning in 2014 when the student was 15 years old," the Navajo County Attorney's Office said in a written statement. "The other three victims included in this case were Larsen’s extended family members who were young girls at the time they were victimized, beginning in the 1990’s. The youngest was five."

  The agency said Larsen will have to register as a sex offender upon release and stay away from any of his victims or children other than his own children and grandchildren.

  “These crimes spanned decades and affected children ages five to 15, when the abuse of each of the four minor victims began,” Navajo County Attorney Brad Carlyon said in a written statement. “It takes courage to come forward, whether it’s been a few hours, a few years or a few decades since a crime occurred. We applaud the courage of these women and are gratified to achieve an outcome where the offender admitted his guilt in court, and a measure of justice is being served.”
