OGDEN — A Clearfield man broke into a woman's motel room, threatened her with a gun and knife, and raped her, according to charging documents filed Friday.
David Gabriel Ingleby, 47, is charged with aggravated sexual assault, object rape, aggravated kidnapping, forcible sodomy, aggravated burglary, and aggravated robbery — all first-degree felonies.
A woman told deputies responding to "a weapons disturbance" at a Motel 6 in West Haven that she had been raped that night, Nov. 5, according to charging documents.
When giving a formal statement, she admitted to engaging in prostitution, telling police she had met Ingleby a week earlier at the motel for sex, charges say. On Oct. 30, "the victim and (Ingleby) exchanged messages talking about sexual acts and the associated rates," investigators wrote in the initial police booking affidavit, after downloading and examining the woman's phone data.
After meeting up, they exchanged texts the next day, with Ingleby asking to meet again — but their communication stopped after the woman refused a sexual request he had, the affidavit says.
The woman told investigators in her statement that Ingleby "was rough and she did not want to have sex with him again."
On Nov. 5, she got a text from a different number and agreed to "meet up at Motel 6 for sex acts," the booking affidavit says.
She first "saw (Ingleby) through the peephole in the door," telling police she was surprised to see him and "that if she knew it was (Ingleby) who set up this appointment, she would not have agreed," according to the charges.
When the woman opened the door, Ingleby "entered the room, placed the muzzle of a firearm against her chest, and ordered her to get into a nearby bed," threatening her with a knife, cutting her arm and strangling her multiple times while raping her, the charges state.
According to the booking affidavit, "security camera footage at the motel captured the vehicle (Ingleby) arrived in," a silver Hyundai Santi Fe. Police found that Ingleby had a matching SUV registered to him, and his license plate was captured by a reader in the area at 7:46 p.m. the day of the alleged assault, charges say.
Footage also captured the man approaching the door, court documents show, matching a physical description on his driver's license.
Police arrested Ingleby on Nov. 13 at his work and interviewed him. The charging documents say he "admitted to visiting an escort at Motel 6 the previous Tuesday," and on an earlier occasion, where he "described some type of physical confrontation when he took his money and tried to leave because he was unable to complete the sexual acts he wanted to."
A search warrant on the man's car and home produced a gun that matched the one described by the woman, a "face covering, various knives, blue bag, and other items of the (Ingleby's) clothing associated with the investigation," prosecutors say.
The man is scheduled for an initial court appearance on Nov. 18 in 2nd District Court and is currently being held without bail in the Weber County Jail.
