A Salem-Keizer school volunteer has been arrested on accusations of sexually abusing a 13-year-old middle school student at a music competition.
Salem police arrested Darian Seth Laughlin, 19, of Salem on Friday on a charge of first-degree sexual abuse, said Salem police spokesman Lt. Dave Okada.
The suspect allegedly rubbed the girl's knee and upper thigh several times while they sat together at the Thursday event at South Salem High School, according to jail documents released Monday.
The girl told police that she pushed Laughlin's hand away to stop his sexual advances, according to a probable-cause statement written by Salem Police Detective Jeff Staples. The document was released Monday after Laughlin made his first court appearance.
In an interview with Staples, Laughlin acknowledged that he knew that the girl was 13, and he reportedly said that he would have had sexual intercourse with her if she would have let him, Staples wrote.
Laughlin also talked to the alleged victim and her friend, also 13, about "having a threesome" at his apartment, according to the detective's report.
