Clearfield woman accused of having sex with teen

CLEARFIELD -- Police believe a 34-year-old Clearfield woman may have victimized more than just one teenage boy.

Clearfield police arrested Tabitha Ash at her home Friday after investigating the complaints of a mother of a 14-year-old neighbor boy.

Ash was booked in Davis County Jail on one count of sexual abuse of a minor and two counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor.

She is being held without bail.

The Davis County Attorney's Office is reviewing the case before filing formal charges in 2nd District Court in Farmington.

"She is not a teacher," said Clearfield Assistant Police Chief Greg Krusi. "She moved into the neighborhood, befriended the family and took advantage of the child."

Krusi said the boy told a friend about the relationship. That friend then told the boy's mother, who called police Monday.

According to a news release, Ash "sent frequent text messages to the boy and had on a few occasions explained sexual positions she would like to experiment with him."

Ash has lived in the Clearfield area for several years and, Krusi said, the police are acquainted with her.

"We've dealt with her numerous times on other types of calls."

Krusi said investigators are concerned Ash may have had relationships with other teenage boys.
