SEXUAL ASSAULT -- Four Utah County men were arrested Wednesday on suspicion of kidnapping and sexual abuse after reportedly attacking two women.

According to a Lone Peak police news release, Jace Blickenstaff, 20, Jared Holland, 18, Kyle Anderson, 18, and Shawn Havili, 18, picked up two women and drove to the Highland area. During the drive, the men allegedly began forcibly removing the women's clothing and fondling them.

The victims reportedly told the men to stop repeatedly and struggled with them to keep their clothes on. Police say the men eventually let the women out of the vehicle and the women subsequently contacted relatives and police.
