LAYTON – A parent punched a Layton man in the face after the man exposed himself in front of children and tried to drag a 3-year-old girl into his apartment late Wednesday night, according to police.
Scott Kenneth Orme, 53, was booked into the Davis County Jail early Thursday on charges of child abduction and sexual abuse of a child.
Layton police said they received reports that Orme “attempted to lure three juveniles into his residence and forcibly dragged a three-year-old girl into his residence,” a police affidavit states.
Adults reported hearing Orme call out of his apartment door, “Hey, come here,” the affidavit states. The door was ajar. They told police they saw the man with his pants down and his genitals exposed to the three children.
According to the police report, one of the children said Orme tried to drag his three-year-old sister into the apartment.
Adults nearby confronted Orme and filmed him doing so. “During the altercation, Scott was punched in the face by one of the parents and officers arrived shortly thereafter,” the arrest report states, adding that Orme allegedly “admitted to the acts” during the exchange. Police said they obtained the video as evidence.
While speaking with police, Orme denied exposing himself or attempting to attract children into his apartment, but later explained that his pants may have been lower than he thought because he was intoxicated and that his genitals may have been exposed to others passing by in the complex, the affidavit states.
