Grant Joel Hildreth, 45, appeared in 4th District Court on Monday after missing a scheduled hearing Friday. A judge ordered Hildreth arrested Friday for failing to appear, but recalled the warrant after determining Hildreth missed court because of an attorney miscommunication about scheduling.

Prosecutor Alex Ludlow asked the judge Friday to incarcerate Hildreth until sentencing, citing a statute that requires those convicted of jailable offenses to be held unless they prove they are not a danger to society or a flight risk.

Judge David Mortensen ordered Hildreth to post cash or bond bail within a week in order to remain out of jail. Sentencing has been pushed back to May 30 while Adult Probation and Parole completes a pre-sentence report.

A jury in March convicted Hildreth of two counts of felony sex abuse for molesting a former employee, but acquitted him of four more counts related to three former patients who said they had been touched inappropriately.

Hildreth is appealing his conviction to the Utah Supreme Court, arguing that he would not have been convicted of molesting the employee if those charges had stood alone.
