AMERICAN FORK — A judge issued a warrant Tuesday for a 75-year-old former youth symphony leaderof a teenager years ago, ruling that the man has been exaggerating his medical symptoms to avoid trial for his felony charges.
of a youth symphony orchestra in Utah County accused Taylor of either sexually abusing them or inappropriately touching them years apart when they were teenagers. The judge revoked the pretrial release on Tuesday and encouraged Taylor to find a ride from Colorado to Utah County and turn himself in, saying he may be more comfortable doing that than being picked up by police officers.
He is accused of engaging in sexual behavior with the teenage musician between 2002 and 2006 in Utah County, and abuse of a former employee and another boy in Sandy in the mid-1980s, beginning when the boys were 12 and 13 years old. Defense attorney Cara Tangaro said she plans to appeal the warrant. She claimed there were issues with the medical evaluation the judge relied upon. She said the doctor took 90 minutes for the evaluation when he previously said it would take half a day and determined Taylor was ambulatory despite him staying on a gurney the entire evaluation.Tangaro also said she plans to ask for an evidentiary hearing so that doctor and Taylor's other doctors can testify.
The judge noted that the doctor was recommended by Tangaro and paid by both parties to obtain an unbiased medical evaluation.
