Leisek was taken into custody in Utah on January 5. He was charged with the alleged 1992 crime back in November.

Utah does not have a statute of limitations for rape.
Jared Leisek, the founder of Adventures With a Purpose, has been accused of raping a 9-year-old girl, who was his cousin, when he was a teenager, according to reports.

Leisek, now 47, faces two counts of first-degree rape of a child stemming from two separate alleged incidents in 1992 in Utah, according to court documents obtained by Inside Edition Digital.

The criminal complaint, filed by prosecutors on November 3 in the 6th Judicial District Court for Sanpete County, Utah, allege Leisek was seven years older than her at the time.

Utah does not have a statute of limitations for rape.

The first incident allegedly occurred in the alleged victim's bedroom in Ephraim, Utah, around Nov. 1, 1992, according to the court document.

“Just before November 1, 1992, the victim lived in Ephraim, which is located in Sanpete County,” Deputy County Attorney Arek E. Butler wrote in the criminal complaint obtained by Inside Edition Digital. Sanpete County is where the the document was filed.

The documents alleges during the first incident "the defendant pinned the victim to the ground" and "pulled her underwear down and put his penis in her vagina."

The second alleged incident occurred at their grandparents' house in Manti, Utah, that same year, per the documents.

"During another incident that same year, the defendant and victim were at their grandparents’ house in Manti when the defendant laid on top of the victim and put his penis in her vagina," the complaint alleges.

Inside Edition Digital has reached out to the Utah State Courts for records and learned that Leisek he has not entered a plea. He is due back in court on Nov. 30 for a preliminary hearing, the court says.

Randy Richards, an attorney representing Leisek, told Inside Edition Digital in a statement, "this is a 30 year old case, we dispute the allegations, we say that this never happened and it is difficult to work on a case like this but we do have evidence to prove that he didn't do what she claimed."

Adventures With a Purpose is a volunteer search and rescue group with a wildly popular YouTube channel that has nearly three-million followers and 295,881,424 streams on the platform.
