ST GEORGE, UTAH -- Ronald D. Hall, 68, of Fairview, Sanpete County, Utah, was charged last week with six counts of aggravated sexual abuse of a child, a first-degree felony, for incidents during the past five years. Three victims have come forward and claimed that Hall sexually abused them. Hall has denied the charges and was released on $10,000 bond.

Hall was an LDS seminary principle at the Manti High School for many years and served as director of the "Mormon Miracle Pageant" in Manti from 1989 to 1997. According to current pageant director, Jay Cluff, directors normally serve for five years, but Hall served longer because he was "excellent at it."
