“While clearly the current events surrounding the family are painful, the sisters were well prepared for this day, and are relieved and grateful to close this chapter in their lives,” said Kimball.

“They wanted their father to take responsibility more than anything else,” David Sturgill, Deputy Utah County Attorney, also added.

Brown leaved the 4th District Judge David N. Mortensen’s courtroom who rejected to comment any to the reporters.

“Today was the next step in a very long process of accountability for a reprehensible act,” Steven Shapiro, Brown’s attorney said.
