A Utah man was arrested Thursday on suspicion of drugging a teenage girl before raping her, and police say it may not be an isolated incident.
29-year-old Calan Nelson Clifford faces a total of 14 felony charges, including rape of a child, sexual exploitation of a minor, enticing a minor by internet or text, and human trafficking of a child.
About a month after their initial contact, Clifford picked the girl up from school and drove to a church parking lot. The victim said Clifford then pressured her into performing a sexual act, despite her saying she didn't want to. The girl said Clifford gave her"GHB" — gamma hydroxybutyrate — and told her he wanted to have sex with her. She again told him no, but then began to pass out and wake up repeatedly. She said Clifford again had sex with her without her consent, and all the while she was fading in and out of consciousness.
"Detectives found these two young girls to be ex-patients at a facility where Calan Clifford used to live," the court document read."Further evidence of these types of crimes has been located and is being investigated at this time."
