Man charged with rape of 16-year-old

UCON, Idaho (KIFI) - A 22-year-old man is in the Bonneville County Jail charged with rape and sexual battery against a minor.

Silva apparently lived in the same home.

The report said another family member saw them engage in sexual acts multiple times.

During the police investigation, the victim initially denied the claim, but in a follow-up interview, she admitted to having a sexual relationship with Silvas for multiple years.

Silvas initially denied the claims but then admitted to some of the accusations.

He was arrested on October 2.

His bond is set at $50,000 dollars.
