OGDEN — An Ogden man was charged Monday with multiple felonies, accusing him of luring a 15-year-old girl from her home on several occasions and sexually assaulting her.

Israel Itzep Ixcoy, 40, is charged in 2nd District Court with three counts of rape, two counts of object rape and aggravated kidnapping, all first-degree felonies. He also faces two counts of forcible sexual abuse and obstruction of justice, second-degree felonies.

Ogden police arrested the man shortly after midnight on April 1 after responding to a report of a reckless driver in the 3100 block of Harrison Boulevard and finding him with the girl.

"The 15-year-old minor victim was driving the suspect's vehicle. She initially gave a false name and once separated from the defendant and returned to her parents, it was learned that the defendant did not have permission to be with the juvenile and a sexual assault had occurred," according to charging documents.

The girl said the man, who she thought was a friend of her father's, came to the window of her home during the night of Feb. 26 and asked her to exit the residence. She declined, but he returned three additional times, and she eventually climbed out of her bedroom window and went to his house, the first of several visits with the man, the charges state.

"Initially, they would play games, go to the store and watch TikTok on his phone. She would go home around three or four in the morning," according to the charges.

Ixcoy engaged in sexual activity against her will, she told authorities. During one encounter, he locked the girl in his room, covered her mouth and told her not to yell, and said, "Don't tell anyone, it's our secret," the court documents say.

After another encounter, he allegedly brought the girl to a store and bought her a strawberry milk.

Ixcoy, who is being held in jail without bail, admitted to engaging in sexual activity with the girl but claimed it was consensual. He confirmed he knew the minor victim was 15 years old," the charges state. He made his first court appearance on Tuesday.
