YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

IDAHO FALLS - A local therapist pleaded guilty to felony sexual abuse charges on Monday.

Robert Stahn, 64, pleaded guilty to felony sexual abuse or exploitation of a vulnerable adult.

Stahn initially pleaded not guilty, but after mediation between both parties, he agreed to a plea agreement in which he would plead guilty, and the prosecution agreed to recommend a probation period at sentencing.

The plea would be binding on the court, meaning that if District Judge Michael Whyte decides to accept the agreement, he cannot change the sentence. If Whyte chooses not to accept the agreement, Stahn can again change his plea.

During the change of plea hearing, prosecuting attorney Scott Davis told the court that the victim could not negotiate during mediation because they are a nonverbal adult but that the victim's mother participated in their place.
