Kanosh assistant fire chief charged with raping fellow firefighter

Austin James Corry, 26, of Kanab, has been charged with two counts of rape, two counts of object rape, five counts of forcible sexual abuse and five counts of sexual battery in 4th District Court.

According to the probably cause statement, in 2015 Corry asked a fellow firefighter to help him with equipment maintenance. According to the woman, Corry “grabbed her, forced her to lay down” in the back seat of a firetruck, “forcefully pulled her pants down” and raped her despite her attempts to “push him off” and repeatedly telling him “no.”

In a second incident a short time later, the victim again “found herself alone” with Corry at the fire station and she was “pushed up against a vehicle and forcefully raped.
