Orem man serving 25-to-life sentence receives additional prison for Utah County rape

PROVO — An Orem man previously convicted for sexually assaulting a minor in Ogden was sentenced to additional prison time for rape charges stemming from Utah County.

Andrew Oldroyd, 38, was sentenced last December to 25 years to life at the Utah State Prison for sodomy on a child. The victim in that case was a 12-year-old West Haven girl, and the assault occurred in July 2025 at a pool party.

In June, a new case was filed against Oldroyd in 4th District Court, charging him with two counts of rape, a first-degree felony; four second-degree felony counts of forcible sexual abuse, enticing a minor; 18 sexual exploitation of a minor, also a second-degree felony; and five counts of distribution of harmful materials to a minor, a third-degree felony.

The charges state Oldroyd met a 16-year-old girl on social media in August 2025. The two met up in Provo, where Oldroyd sexually assaulted her, according to charging documents.

The teen began using Oldroyd's car, he bought alcohol for her, and he paid for the teen's second cell phone that she used to communicate with him as he continued to sexually assault her, the charges state.

After Oldroyd was arrested in the Ogden case, police were contacted and went through the teen's phone, where they found child sex abuse material of the girl and pornographic material of Oldroyd, according to the charges.

In addition, "While reviewing messages on (his) phone, officers discovered that (Oldroyd) was chatting with another minor female from another state. The two had shared nude and sexually explicit images with one another," charging documents state.

Of the 30 felony charges, Oldroyd pleaded guilty to just two: one of the first-degree felony rape charges and one of the second-degree felony sexual exploitation of a minor charges. As part of his plea agreement, the rest of the charges were dismissed.

In his plea, Oldroyd said he was told by the victim that she was 17 years old, but he still wanted to meet up with her.

"(The victim) disclosed that Oldroyd began kissing her and touching her. (The victim) told Oldroyd not to touch her, and he continued to do so," the plea states.

Oldroyd appeared virtually from the Utah State Prison for his sentencing hearing Wednesday. His defense attorney, Rori Stokes, requested that since he is already sentenced to 25 years to life, his sentencing in this case be served concurrently.

"I'm just going to apologize for everybody who was impacted by all of this. I want to apologize, and I don't have any ill will towards anybody. I just hope things can ... move forward for everybody involved in all of this," Oldroyd said.

Judge Thomas Low said, "It really is a tragic situation you've got yourself into here." He said the court is impressed by the accountability Oldroyd has taken and that it is reflected in the plea bargain the state is giving him.

Oldroyd was sentenced to five years to life in prison for the rape charge and one to 15 years for the exploitation charge. "To recognize the suffering" of the additional victims, the sentences will be served consecutively to each other and consecutive to his Ogden conviction, Low said.

This decision extends his sentence for each of the offenses, which is "appropriate given the fact that we have different individuals who need to be recognized and that these criminal actions need to be punished separately," Low said.

No restitution was ordered, but Low said the issue can be raised at a later time by prosecutors.

"I do commend you for taking responsibility," Low said to Oldroyd. "You seem to be a different man now than whoever it was that did these things, and I wish you the best."
