  No. 20070799Plaintiff and Petitioner,v.F I L E DDwight Cahoon,Defendant and Respondent.

  041100622Attorneys:
  Mark L. Shurtleff, Att’y Gen., Christopher D. Ballard, Asst. Att’y Gen., Tony C. Baird, Logan, for plaintiff John T. Caine, Randall W. Richards, Ogden, for defendant---On Certiorari to the Utah Court of AppealsDURRANT, Associate Chief Justice:

  INTRODUCTION¶1 The State filed two informations against Mr. Dwight Cahoon based on the same criminal acts. In the original information, the State asserted ten counts of aggravated sexual abuse of a child and ten counts of forcible sexual abuse. When Cahoon moved for dismissal on statute of limitations grounds, the State conceded that the statute had run on the charges in the original information, but the State simultaneously filed an amended information charging Cahoon with ten counts of sexual abuse of a child, a crime for which the State contended the statute of limitations had not run.

  ¶2 The district court thereafter dismissed the original information, but the court denied Cahoon’s motion to dismiss the amended information, rejecting his argument that the charges No. 20070799 2alleged in the amended information were precluded by the statute of limitations and the double jeopardy clauses of the Utah and United States constitutions.

  ¶3 Cahoon then entered a conditional guilty plea to two counts in the amended information. The district court sentenced him to two concurrent terms of one to fifteen years, but stayed the sentence pending his appeal. The court of appeals reversed Cahoon’s conviction, holding that the amended charges violated his right to be free from double jeopardy. We reverse, concluding that jeopardy had not attached at the time the district court dismissed the original information.

  BACKGROUND
  ¶4 In 2004, Ms. Nancy Lucchetti contacted the Logan City Police Department and alleged acts of sexual abuse by Cahoon, her brother-in-law, between the years of 1989 and 1992. Lucchetti was twelve years old in 1989. Subsequent to Lucchetti’s allegations, Cahoon admitted to police that he had indeed committed acts of sexual abuse against Lucchetti on some fifteen to twenty occasions.

  ¶5 Shortly after Lucchetti made these allegations, the State charged Cahoon by information with ten counts of aggravated sexual abuse of a child and ten counts of forcible sexual abuse. Cahoon moved to dismiss all of the charges on the ground that the statute of limitations had expired. In response, the State conceded that the statute had run on the original charges. Simultaneously, the State submitted an amended information,charging Cahoon with ten counts of sexual abuse of a child, a crime for which the State contended the statute of limitations had not run. The charges in the amended information were based upon the same conduct that supported the original charges. Subsequently, the trial judge dismissed with prejudice the original charges.

  ¶6 Cahoon then moved to dismiss the amended charges on the following grounds: the statute of limitations had also run on the amended charges and the amended charges violated Cahoon’s right to be free from double jeopardy. The district court ruled against Cahoon on both grounds.

  ¶7 After the court’s ruling, Cahoon entered conditional guilty pleas to two counts in the amended information. The district court then sentenced him to two concurrent terms of one

  1 The court of appeals indicated in its opinion, however,that Cahoon’s brief offered “no basis for independent reliance on the state constitution.” State v. Cahoon, 2007 UT App 269, ¶ 8n.1, 167 P.3d 533 (internal quotation marks omitted). Accordingly, the court of appeals did not conduct a state constitutional analysis. Before us, Cahoon has not advanced a state constitutional argument, and we, therefore, do not address the issue either.

  2 Cahoon, 2007 UT App 269, ¶ 1.3 Id. ¶¶ 11-12.4 Id. (discussing United States v. Oppenheimer, 242 U.S. 85,87-88 (1916)).5 Id. ¶ 14 (citing Utah Code Ann. § 76-1-403 (2003)).

  3 No. 20070799to fifteen years at the Utah State Prison, but stayed execution of the sentence and granted him a certificate of probable cause.¶8 Cahoon timely appealed, raising double jeopardy and due process claims based on the United States and Utah constitutions.

  1 The court of appeals held that the amended charges violated Cahoon’s federal constitutional right to be free from double jeopardy.

  2 Specifically, the court of appeals held that Cahoon’s case was a rare circumstance where a pretrial dismissal was the functional equivalent of an acquittal because it resolved a factual element of the crime--time.

  3 To support its holding, the court of appeals relied on United States v.Oppenheimer, wherein the United States Supreme Court held that the government could not re-charge an accused with charges identical to those that were dismissed as barred by the statute of limitations.

  4 The court of appeals also grounded its holding in Utah statutory protections against double jeopardy, which provide that, once acquitted, a defendant cannot be charged again for the same criminal act.

  5¶9 We granted the State’s petition for certiorari to review the court of appeals’ decision. We have jurisdiction pursuant to Utah Code section 78A-3-102(3)(a) (2008).

  A Logan man was arrested Monday, after a woman told police that he had sexually abused her 15 years ago.

  Dwight Cahoon, 46, is being held in the Cache County jail on suspicion of committing 10 counts each of second-degree felony sexual abuse of a child and forcible sexual abuse.

  Each count carries an indeterminate prison term of not less than one year or more than 15 years.

  According to a police report, the now 27-year-old woman told detectives in May that Cahoon touched her in a sexual manner at least a dozen times between 1989 until 1992. The report doesn/t say why the woman waited until May 2004 to report the alleged abuse.

  Cahoon admitted to improperly touching the woman when she was a young girl, according to the report.

  Logan police detectives have turned over the case to Deputy Cache County Attorney James Swink, who will review it and decide whether to file charges against Cahoon.

• 8. Men waive hearings in 3 separate sex cases

  Three men accused of committing sexual crimes against children waived their rights to preliminary hearings in 1st District Court this week, and each pleaded innocent to the charges against them.

  Two of the accused men, Logan resident Dwight Arthur Cahoon and Robert Bingham of South Jordan, appeared before Judge Clint S. Judkins on Friday morning.

  Cahoon/s attorney, Lyle Hillyard, told Judkins that he believed Cahoon/s case may be affected by Utah/s statute of limitations for child sexual abuse. Hillyard asked the judge for extra time to research the law and prepare a motion asking to dismiss the charges.

  Current law gives the state four years to file charges from the date abuse is reported to a law enforcement agency. Cahoon reportedly committed the crimes between 1989 and 1992, but it is unclear whether current law applies in his case.

  The 46-year-old Cahoon pleaded innocent to 10 counts of first-degree felony aggravated sexual abuse of a child, and 10 counts of second-degree felony forcible sexual abuse. He is free on a ,150,000 property bond.

  Cahoon is scheduled for a pretrial hearing at 10 a.m. on Dec. 12 in front of Judkins, and Bingham is set to appear at 10 a.m. on Dec. 13.

  The 42-year-old Bingham is charged with two first-degree felony counts of aggravated sexual abuse of a child and three counts of second-degree felony forcible sexual abuse. He reportedly committed the crimes between 1998 and 1999 in Benson. He was summoned to the Cache County Sheriff/s Office in May 2004, where he was booked on the charges and released.

  Another of the three, 36-year-old Jarred Jay Skinner of Hyrum, denied on Tuesday that he was guilty of multiple counts of first-degree felony rape of a child, two counts of first-degree felony rape with an object, and five first-degree felony counts of sodomy on a child during his hearing before Judge Thomas Willmore.

  Skinner was arrested on July 26 after an investigation by detectives from the Cache County Sheriff/s Office. He allegedly committed the crimes on New Year/s Day 2002 in Hyrum.

  Skinner posted a property bond of ,120,000 after his arrest and was released from jail. He remains free pending his pretrial hearing at 1:30 p.m. on Nov. 9.

• 13. Logan man sentenced to 1 to 15 years in prison for child sexual abuse

  By Brad Plothow

  April 20, 2006 | A Logan man could spend as many as 15 years in a state prison for a crime he's accused of committing more than 15 years ago.

  Dwight Cahoon, 48, on Monday was sentenced on two counts of second-degree sexual abuse of a child. His term is for not less than one year and to up to 15 years in a Utah prison.

  Cahoon was charged late last year on 10 counts related to the sexual abuse a young girl from 1989-1992. Cahoon was tried on only three counts. The victim, a woman now in her late 20s, didn't speak to police about the incident until 2004, when the case was filed. Police documents do not indicate why the woman waited so long to make the accusation.

  A police report revealed that Cahoon admitted to sexually touching the woman when she was younger. Cahoon pleaded innocent to the 10 counts of second-degree felony sexual abuse of a child when the charges were originally levied, but in January this year he changed his plea to guilty on two counts. Cahoon and his defense attorney, John Caine, argued that the statue of limitations had passed, since the charges were made so many years after the alleged abuse.

  First District Court Judge Clint Judkins denied the motion. Cahoon and Caine will likely appeal Monday's ruling, again on the basis of the statute of limitations.

  Cahoon was not detained by police after his sentencing Monday. The court determined he posed no flight risk or threat to the community, so he was released on his own recognizance.

  According to his 1st District Court file, Cahoon has court fines totaling $37,500 plus interest. Cahoon made bail when the charges were filed in 2004 on a $150,000 property bond.

  Cahoon currently is not listed in Utah's sex offender registry. Two men by the same last name are listed on the registry. Brian Earl Cahoon, 31, of Draper was convicted of second-degree sexual abuse of a child in September of last year. Troy Gary Cahoon, 36, whose address is listed as the same as Brian Earl Cahoon's, was convicted on one count of unlawful sexual activity with a minor, a third-degree felony, in 2003 and attempted sexual abuse of a child, also a third-degree felony, in 1992.

  Caine is a high-profile criminal defense attorney in Utah. He helped represent Mark Hacking, who was charged with the murder of his wife, Lori, in a case that received national media attention last year.

  Family members helped

  On Oct. 12, daughter [redacted], 20, was married to Dwight Cahoon in the Logan Temple [...].

  Six still at home

  Addition to their six married children, the [redacted] have six children living at home: [redacted], 17; [redacted], 15; [redacted], 13; [redacted], 10; [redacted], 7; and [redacted], 11, their Indian placement student from Fort Defiance, and Ariz.

  [...]

  Because of the support structure which has been strongly built and reinforced in the [redacted] family, no problem seems to big to handle and consequently, six weddings for carried off without a hitch.

  The biggest expenses, said [redacted], before announcements and receptions, but since each of the kids had worked to put themselves through college, "we've have the money to spend on their weddings."

  In a mutual decision, the girls opted to wear the same wedding dress which had been taken up and down and in and out to accommodate all the girls' sizes.

  "They each have the same dress on, but it looks different on every one of them, "said [redacted], with that proud-father-look in his eye.

  When asked how they felt about seeing all of their married children sealed in temple ceremonies, both [redacted] and [redacted] agreed it gives them a very warm and wonderful feeling inside.

  Picture of temple

  "Our philosophy has been to keep the family together as close as possible. We've always supported each other and try to hold regular Family Home Evening and family councils," said [redacted].

  In addition, [redacted] said, each of her children are taught to be responsible for themselves and their belongings. Individual initiative is also stressed in [redacted] family, so that each of the children can learn to make their own decisions.

  "We've always had a picture of the temple in the living room, too. It never hurts to keep your goals in perspective," she continued.

  In addition to getting married in the temple, three of their children and three of the new son-in-laws have served on LDS missions: [...] Dwight served a mission in Massachusetts.

  Religion has always played a major role in the [redacted]' lives as [redacted] is a teacher at the LDS Institute in Cedar City and administrative assistant to the area director of the Church Education System.

  Also, [redacted] and [redacted] have a tour business which revolves around Temple Tours in history in the LDS church.

  That's all for now

  Last summer of the pair put a south Pacific island tour together to finance the trip down to Samoa for [redacted]'s wedding.

  They said they would have been disappointed if any of her children have chosen not to get married in the temple, but, "we never pushed any of them into doing anything," said [redacted], noting that her other six children will probably all get married in the temple too.

  However, the couple does not plan to have any more weddings in the family for at least a few years.
