A Syracuse man faces two counts of child abuse after being accused of punching a 15-year-old boy in the jaw at church.
The Davis County Attorney’s office has filed charges — one third-degree felony, one Class A misdemeanor — this week against a 40-year-old man over an incident in a Syracuse church on May 6.
According to the probable cause statement, the man told a Syracuse Police officer the boy made a sexual gesture toward the man’s daughter. The man then called the boy back to where he was sitting, and told the boy not to do that.
