    UTAH COUNTY, Dec. 17, 2019 (Gephardt Daily) — A South Jordan man has been charged with five felonies after police say he repeatedly abused a girl in Utah County.

    Jared Marcus Bonkosky, 41, was charged Monday on suspicion of four counts of sexual abuse of child by a person in a position of trust, and one count of sodomy on a child. All five charges are first-degree felonies.

    “Jared Bonkosky, was alone with a young female … in her bedroom. This female child is under the age of 13,” the statement says.

    “… Jared was giving the young girl a full body massage. This massage started when Jared removed the young girl’s shorts and panties. In an Interview at the Children’s Justice Center, the young girl stated that Jared had given her full body massages on three or four occasions in the past.

    “During each of these massages, the young girl stated that Jared would remove her pants and panties. He would then proceed to massage her bare buttocks with his hands.”

    During the last massage, Bonkosky was again complimenting the young victim while massaging her, then performed a sexual act, the statement says.

    “The young girl stated that she began to have a ‘panic attack’ and ‘freak out.’ The young girl also stated that she got mad at herself because she did not do anything about it. After this incident, Jared became remorseful, apologized to the young girl, and told her that he had ‘hurt and betrayed her.’

    “The young girl also said that Jared looked up the consequences of what he did on his phone. He then told her what some of those consequences would be including going to prison.”

    Bonkosky told the child to clean herself to “kill the bacteria,” the statement says.

    The girl told Bonkosky he had to tell another adult at the residence what he had done, and an adult there confirmed he had done so.

    Bonkosky, post Miranda, declined to make a statement to sheriff’s officials.

    “The young female victim clearly disclosed that on at least four occasions, Jared massaged her bare buttocks with his bare hands. This was clearly done for sexual purposes and as part of the grooming process, which culminated in the act of sodomy,” the statement says.

    Bonkosky’s bail was set at $105,000.

    • Deseret News

    SALT LAKE CITY — An agent with Adult Probation and Parole has been arrested and accused of sexually abusing a child.

    Jared Marcus Bonkosky, 41, of South Jordan, was booked into the Utah County Jail for investigation of four counts of aggravated sexual abuse of a child and sodomy on a child.

    Bonkosky is accused of giving a girl under the age of 13 a “full body massage” while the girl’s pants were off on at least four occasions, according to a police booking affidavit.

    On Dec. 12, while giving the girl a massage, he also sexually assaulted her, the affidavit states.

    “The young girl stated that she began to have a ‘panic attack’ and ‘freak out.’ The young girl also stated that she got mad at herself because she did not do anything about it,” police wrote in the report.

    After the incident, Bonkosky “became remorseful, apologized to the young girl, and told her that he had ‘hurt and betrayed her,’” the affidavit states.

    He also looked up the possible legal penalties of his actions on his phone, the girl, who is a relative, told police.

    “When Jared asked the young girl what he should do, she told Jared that Jared had to tell the other adult that was in the residence what happened,” according to the affidavit.

    Police interviewed Bonkosky on Monday and arrested him.

    Bonkosky has been with the Utah Department of Corrections for 10 years, according to Corrections spokeswoman Kaitlin Felsted. He was placed on administrative leave as soon as administrators were made aware of the allegations, she said.
