Sundance man accused of child molestation

Travis Price of Sundance stands accused of 13 individual felony charges related to sexual abuse of a minor after two victims identified him as having molested them over the course of several years.

According to court reports, a Crook County Sheriff’s Office deputy on February 2 interviewed two people who claimed Price had touched them inappropriately while they were minors.

Price was interviewed after the deputy had spoken with both alleged victims and the deputy reports that Price commented several times during the interview that he was “so scared” and allegedly also said he didn’t mean for anything to happen with the victims but blamed an incident in his own past.

Price allegedly admitted to many of the claims made by the two victims and confirmed a number of the specific examples they had given.

Price has been charged with 13 separate counts related to sexual abuse of a minor. Potential penalties for the counts range from 15 to 50 years of incarceration; all 13 carry potential $10,000 fines.
