Prosecutors on Friday filed new charges against the man accused of kidnapping and murdering 6-year-old Sierra Newbold, saying he abused another girl a few years ago.
Terry Lee Black, 41, was charged with two more counts of sexual abuse of a child and two more counts of aggravated sexual abuse of a child. Documents filed with the new charges state the abuse happened sometime between 2007 and 2009.
A girl who would have been 11 or 12 years old at the time attended a sleep over with members of Black's family. Black, according to court documents, entered the bedroom where the girl was sleeping and touched her breasts, put his hands down her underwear and forced her hands to touch his genitals.
The next summer, court documents claim, Black lured the same girl to his apartment and again put his hands down her pants.
The Salt Lake County district attorney on July 10 charged Black with aggravated murder, child kidnapping and rape of a child in the Sierra case. She was reported missing from her West Jordan home and was found dead on June 26.
Court documents and prosecutors in that case claim the girl was abducted from her home, then beaten, raped, strangled and thrown into a canal, where she drowned. Black lived about a block from Sierra's home and was arrested June 29 in an unrelated bank robbery case. Detectives observed black soot on his hands and clothing similar to what was in the field where some of Sierra's clothes were found.
After Black's arrest, a swab from his genitals was obtained and compared to DNA from Sierra's body. Examiners at the Utah State Crime Laboratory subsequently found Sierra's DNA profile on the swab taken from Black, according to court documents.
Black remains in the Salt Lake County jail in lieu of $2 million bail.
