A Utah filmmaker who admitted in an audio interview to molesting a 13-year-old boy in 1993 has been charged with aggravated sexual abuse of a young girl in a more recent case.
Sterling Van Wagenen has been charged with one count of aggravated sexual abuse of a child, a first-degree felony, in 3rd District Court in West Jordan.
The girl was between 7 and 9 years old when the abuse allegedly occurred between 2013 and 2015, according to a probable cause statement. It said she told her parents that Van Wagenen had inappropriately touched her twice: once in her home in Salt Lake County, and once at a location in Utah County.
