Scott Wangsgard, the attorney for Myton rancher, Floyd E. Cox, has filed a motion to dismiss the civil lawsuit against his client The lawsuit was originally filed in 8th District Court in Roosevelt in July 1997. It was refiled last July in $rd District Court in Salt Lake City. According to Wangsgard, Utahs statute of limitations prohibits claims for childhood sex abuse of civil suits filed four years after the alleged victim turns 18. He views the claims against Cox, made by his former foster daughter, Denene Whitman of South Jordan, as nothing more than making good on a threat she made in April 1996 when she was mad at him over a property dispute. Wangsgard alleges Whitman wanted Cox to give half of his ranch to his two sons, Lance and Rodney (who were not foster children), and when he wouldnt she became enraged. Whitmans attorney, Roger Hoole, said his clients memory of the alleged sexual abuse 30 years ago surfoced when she was allegedly confronted by Cox during the course pf the property dispute with his sons, which ended up in court Hoole said Whitman had nothing to gain in the property dispute. But Coxs attorney -- is well-know- n sex-abu- ters attached affidavits to Whitmans suit, contending they too were sexually abused by Cox. One former foster daughter, now 50, claims Cox raped her 100 times and fathered two children with her. Wangsgard said Cox admitted to having a sexual relationship with a foster daughter who became preg-- , nant, but says the relationship was "consensual and occurred after the girl was of legal age. Cox adamantly denies any allegations that he ever sexually molested any of his foster children. His former wife, Estella, who was married to Cox during the time the couple took in troubled teens in their Salt Lake County home, said her husband came under investigation in the early 1980 when a foster girl fled their home and accused Floyd of sexual abuse. The case was dropped when Cox denied the charges, she said. Despite the accusations, Cox remains a respected rancher and member of the community, according to Phil Hicken of Myton, Coxs former LDS bishop. Whitman is seeking damages for assault, battery and emotional distress. "Top dog price. Hie Utah price was $13.40 per cwt, up 10 cents from the previous month and up $150 from Aug. 1997.
