A Wyoming man just received his punishment for the kidnapping that occurred after a 14-year-old girl was preyed upon. The plot twist is… the man didn’t have relations with the teen. His crime was more of a revenge plot.
Have y’all seen that video of The Game busting the door in on an alleged pedophile? We’ve got a similar case that occurred in the town of Gillette. The mother of the 14-year-old girl told Cowboy State Daily she found 32-year-old Zackery Minard in her daughter’s bed on Nov. 30, 2023. She then called 31-year-old Timothy Ott for help.
The report says Ott pulled up with his friend and found Minard sitting on the woman’s living room couch insisting he was going to marry the teen. Ott and his backup confronted Minard which quickly turned physical. While the three wrestled out the door, the mother told reporters her daughter began vomiting.
One would think all Minard needed was an ass-whooping before the police got to him to take care of the rest...but no. Police say Ott grabbed Minard by his ankles and dragged him to his Chevy truck where he was forced into the trunk. Minard was thrown against a variety of metal objects shoved in the back with him as Ott alternated between the gas and the brake, Minard told investigators via court documents.
Eventually, the car stopped in a remote place and Minard was taken out of the car, the report says. Ott then punched Minard in the face, breaking his nose. The Campbell County Sheriff’s Office responded to the area afterwards when someone reported seeing the “disheveled” Minard wandering about the area. Both men were arrested and taken in for questioning.
Police said Minard confessed to having sex with the minor while Ott confessed to abducting Minard from the girl’s home. In June, Minard was sentenced to a maximum of 14 years in prison while receiving a credit for the 200 days he spent in jail. He was also ordered to register as a sex offender.
Meanwhile, Ott was charged with kidnapping and was sentenced this month to 10 years in prison while simultaneously serving a sentence for meth possession. He must also pay over $1,000 in restitution to the pedophile.
