A Lewiston man with a previous conviction for child sexual abuse has pleaded guilty to a charge of lewd conduct with a child younger than 16.
Daniel Grim
63-year-old Daniel Grim will serve 7.5 years to life in prison if 2nd District Judge Jay Gaskill accepts a binding plea agreement at Grim’s Jan. 13th sentencing. Gaskill also ordered a presentence investigation and a psychosexual evaluation for Grim, who has remained in the Nez Perce County jail on a $400,000 bond since he was charged in June.
According to court files, the alleged abuse occurred over a span of several years when the girl was between the approximate ages of 5 and 8, starting around 2011. The alleged abuse came to light last spring when the girl told a school counselor. The counselor called police, and the girl subsequently told investigators that Grim molested her on multiple occasions during visits to his 24th Street home in Lewiston.
Grim pleaded guilty to sexual assault of a child younger than 16 in 2004 in Latah County, where then-District Judge John Stegner sentenced him to six months of treatment at a state prison before releasing him and imposing six years of probation. (Lewiston Tribune)
