OGDEN -- A weeklong Davis County trial, with a Davis County judge, Davis County prosecutors and Davis County witnesses, begins today in Weber County.
A jury pool of 70 Weber County residents will be whittled down to eight people, with one alternate, to decide the fate of Aaron Marcos Montoya, 33, of Syracuse.
Montoya is charged in Davis County with eight counts of aggravated sexual abuse of a child and with two counts of the first-degree felony in Weber County. He will be tried this week on four of the Davis County charges, which involve three girls and stem from incidents prosecutors allege occurred while Montoya taught a Syracuse Primary class for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
