A former Utah psychologist accused of “ritualistic sex abuse” involving children faces six new felony charges after a second adult victim came forward with testimony decades after the alleged assaults occurred.

On Oct. 17, David Lee Hamblin, 68, pleaded not guilty in a district court in Sanpete County, Utah, to six additional counts of aggravated child sex abuse stemming from an investigation by members of the Utah County Sheriff’s Office’s (UCSO) special victims unit.
