Dad, son face separate rape charges (Twin Falls, Idaho)

Children need their daddies because...otherwise, how would certain young men learn to be rapists? If so, dad FRANKLIN WARD OSTERHOUDT has been a very successful father. Too successful, since both he and his son are in the same jail on separate charges of sexual assault.

Idaho Father, Son Face Separate Rape Charges
Saturday, August 08, 2009

TWIN FALLS, Idaho — Authorities in Twin Falls County say a father and his son are being held on separate charges of sexual assault.

They say 43-year-old Franklin Ward Osterhoudt and his 20-year-old son, Franklin Scott Osterhoudt, are being held early Saturday at the county jail.

The elder Osterhoudt faces five counts of lewd conduct with a minor under 16, one count of incest and one count of rape stemming from allegations involving a family member between 2002 and 2006. He was arrested in Nogales, Ariz., and has pleaded not guilty.

His son faces two counts of statutory rape for two incidents involving a 15-year-old girl.
Both men from Buhl face up to life in prison and fines if convicted.

County Prosecuting Attorney Grant Loebs says such coincidences are "not frequent."
