Show Rape case cleared as unfounded Following investigation by the Uintah County Sheriff's office and the Vernal City Police, the rape of a 17-year-old girl reported June 6 was unfounded, said Joe Boren, Vernal City Police. Both law enforcement agencies were involved in a search Sunday, June 7, for a green out-of-state Plymouth which, according to the girl, was the vehicle used in the incident. The juvenile told police that she was abducted at 200 North Vernal Avenue by three men and taken to the Dry Fork settlement where she was raped. The girl said she escaped and walked more than ten miles to where she called for help. The juvenile is being referred to Juvenile Court and the case was cleared Monday as unfounded by Vernal Ver-nal Police and Sheriff Departments. |
