The man convicted of several abductions last year in Salt Lake County's East Millcreek area now has another sexual assault on his criminal record.
Douglas V. Montrose, 31, pleaded guilty Monday in 4th District Court to sexual abuse of a child, a second-degree felony, for the August 1993 assault in Provo of a 12-year-old California tourist. He was originally charged with a first-degree felony.Montrose, currently serving three consecutive terms of one to 15 years in the Utah State Prison for the Salt Lake assaults, was sentenced Monday to another prison term of one to 15 years. This sentence will run concurrent with his other terms.
The Desert Storm veteran, Brigham Young University graduate and returned missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will spend at least four years in prison, and likely more than a decade.
Montrose admitted grabbing the 12-year-old girl off a porch of a central Provo apartment where her family was staying and taking her to a secluded area where he sexually assaulted her. The girl was in Provo with her family to attend Education Week. She had been sleeping in a van in front of the apartment and was walking to the apartment when Montrose abducted her.
The case baffled detectives for more than three years. Montrose, who lived near the Provo apartment during the time of the attack, became a suspect after he was arrested in Salt Lake City. He was charged in the Provo incident after DNA testing matched his body fluids with semen left at the scene.
Montrose was sentenced last month in 3rd District Court for attacks last year on an 11-year-old, 16-year-old and 17-year-old. He followed all three girls from school and attacked them in their homes.
He was arrested Nov. 6 in an East Millcreek neighborhood after another motorist noticed him following a girl home from school. Po-lice found a white stocking in his pocket that matched one worn by the victims' attacker. The victims identified him in a photo lineup. Montrose worked as an operating room nurse at Primary Children's Medical Center at the time of his arrest.
He eventually pleaded guilty or no contest to attempted forcible sodomy, a first-degree felony; sexual abuse of a child, a second-degree felony; and attempted forc-ible sexual abuse of a child, a third-degree felony.
Montrose lived in Orem and Provo until 1995, and his deviant behavior apparently started when he was a resident of Utah County. In 1989, Montrose pleaded guilty to criminal trespass, a Class C misdemeanor, for "window peeking" in Provo. In 1994 he pleaded guilty to another charge of criminal trespass for a similar incident in Orem. In 1996 he pleaded no contest to gross lewdness.
In September, about two weeks before one of the Salt Lake abductions, a Provo judge ordered Montrose to enroll in sexual-behavior therapy. He never attended a session. At his earlier sentencing, Montrose apologized to his victims and asked to receive counseling while in prison.
