Son Whose Mother Was Charged with Killing Two of Her Children is Charged with Sexual Assault
The surviving son of Lori Vallow, the Idaho mother accused of killing her two younger children, has been charged with sexual assault, according to police records.
Colby Jordan Ryan, 26, was arrested Saturday in Mesa, Arizona, after his estranged wife accused him of raping her at her home.
The victim, who was not identified, told officers that Ryan came to her home Wednesday to watch television, according to a probable cause statement. The pair are separated and do not live together. The woman told police that the two engaged in consensual kissing but that she did not want to have sexual intercourse with Ryan. The woman told Ryan several times to stop but he inappropriately touched her and then raped her, the probable cause statement says.
