• Blake Foster to serve prison time for sexual abuse of a minor
A Star Valley Ranch man has been sentenced to prison after pleading guilty to Felony Sexual Abuse of a Minor in the Third Degree. Lincoln County District Court Judge Joseph Bluemel ordered Blake Foster, 34, to serve six months at the Lincoln County Detention Center in Kemmerer followed by four years of supervised probation.
According to court documents, the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office began an investigation in January following reports of multiple incidents that occurred in 2025. Foster was initially charged with multiple counts of abuse and Child Endangering, a misdemeanor. In exchange for Foster pleading guilty to one count of Felony Sexual Abuse of a Minor, which carried a penalty of up to 15 years, the remaining counts were dismissed.
At the sentencing hearing the Lincoln County Attorney’s Office argued for a prison sentence of 4-10 years, however the court ordered the sentence of 3-12 years in prison to be suspended with 6 months to serve in the Lincoln County Detention Center.
