Farmington man, 75, pleads guilty to attempted child sex abuse

FARMINGTON — A 76-year-old Farmington man has entered guilty pleas to two counts of attempted aggravated sexual abuse of a child.

LeeRoy Fry appeared Tuesday with his attorney, Kenneth Brown, in 2nd District Court before Judge David Connors.

Fry could be sentenced to serve three years to life in Utah State Prison on each count. The sentence is not mandatory, but Fry must register as a sex offender.

Fry was originally charged with four counts of first-degree felony aggravated sexual abuse of a child. Those charges carried mandatory prison sentences.

Prosecutors agreed to dismiss two of the charges in exchange for a guilty plea.

A sentencing hearing has been set for Nov. 13.

Connors ordered Adult Probation and Parole to prepare a presentence report.

Fry was arrested in March after a parent called the Division of Child and Family Services to report Fry had sexually abused at least three girls, ages, 7, 11 and 14, police said.

Fry had been held in Davis County Jail on $250,000 bail but was released in April after Connors reduced bail to $75,000.

According to court documents, the incidents happened between February 2011 and March 2012.
