The accuser in the case against a former LDS seminary principal took the witness stand on Tuesday afternoon, detailing their relationship.

Michael Pratt, 37, is charged with 10 first-degree felony counts of forcible sodomy, seven counts of object rape and two counts of rape, and two second-degree felony counts of forcible sex abuse. Prosecutors say he engaged in a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old Lone Peak High School student for several months.

Until his arrest, Pratt was principal of the Lone Peak High School LDS seminary, where the girl was a student. LDS Church spokeswoman Kim Farah said Pratt was terminated after the allegations surfaced.

The girl testified that on April 30, Pratt called her and told her about a fantasy he had about her. The fantasy involved getting her out of school, going to Bridal Veil Falls for a picnic, kissing under the falls, going to a bed and breakfast in Provo and having sex. Then he would give her two tickets to Africa and they would leave together.

She said she was shocked at the conversation.

The next day, May 1, she spent the entire school day in his office. She said he told her that he was in love with her and to think about it over the weekend. She left with a friend and told her what had happened.

Over that weekend, she said she couldn't sleep or eat. She ended up having an anxiety attack and had to go to the hospital.

She said Pratt was worried about her and kept calling and texting her, saying he shouldn't have done what he did. But she told him that he couldn't walk away. That night, she said, Pratt went to her aunt's house and gave her a blessing.

Then on May 6, he gave her his car keys and she left school, she said. She hid in the backseat of his car and he drove away. They ended up at Bridal Veil Falls, then at Vivian Park in Provo Canyon where he performed sex acts on her inside an abandoned train car.

She testified that their next sexual contact happened at an abandoned house in her neighborhood on June 22.

Prosecutors have a photo of Pratt's car at the house, because a man was there taking photos of things that were broken in the yard.

Then on June 25, she was staying with her grandparents and he picked her up at a restaurant in Pleasant Grove, she said. They drove to Santaquin, ate breakfast and then drove to an old mine in Eureka. She testified that they performed sex acts on each other in the mine and attempted to have sexual intercourse. They then went skinny dipping in a hot springs in Santaquin and again attempted to have sexual intercourse at his car.

The preliminary hearing in the case is ongoing. Check back later for updates.
