Wyatt Ringo Brown, who turned 18 in January and is a senior at Altamont High School, began communicating with the 12-year-old victim on a mobile app called Pengu.
Wyatt befriended the victim through the app and asked her to send explicit pictures of herself. Wyatt told police that he subsequently received two pictures, but she didn’t send the requested pictures.
The victim and Wyatt stated that he sent two explicit pictures of himself.
On 3/3/25, Wyatt asked the victim to accompany him from the high school to the store, saying he would buy her something to eat, but he drove to the park instead.
Wyatt then touched her leg and neck, and during this incident, the victim tried to pull away but was prevented by Wyatt's grip on the back of her head.
In a written statement by the victim and a parent for a child protective order, it stated that Wyatt removed his penis from his shorts and attempted to get the victim to touch it. Wyatt denies this act.
After the victim resisted Wyatt, he took her to the store, bought her something to eat, and took her back to school. When they returned to the school, Wyatt told the victim, "I'm going to do that again since you liked it so much."
Wyatt stated that after the incident, he heard from someone that the victim attempted suicide by cutting. The victim stated that a cat scratched her.
Wyatt stated he reached out to the victim, asking her not to hurt herself.
Wyatt told her, "You didn't cut deep enough. You should cut deeper next time."
Wyatt has been accused of similar behavior previously with another victim, which was charged and handled through the Juvenile Court system.
Altamont High School conducted its own investigation before reporting the incident to the Duchesne County Sheriff's Office. After Altamont High School spoke with Wyatt, he deleted the Pengu app, and the conversations stating he got scared that he would get in trouble for doing something wrong. By doing so, he destroyed evidence.
There have been reports of someone trying to get the victim and the family to recant their story. There is worry about the risk of retaliation toward the victim.
