Like Father, Like Son … Franklin Ward Osterhoudt and Son Franklin Scott Osterhoudt Both Arrested on Separate Rape Charges

Posted in: Arrest,Crime,Sex Offender

In the Osterhoudt family from Twin Falls, Idaho, the apple did not fall far from the tree.

43 year old Franklin Ward Osterhoudt and his 20 year-old son, Franklin Scott Osterhoudt, are both being held in jail having been arrested on separate rape charges. Here is a gene pool that authorities may want to make sure never reproduces again.

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.

The court on Monday entered a not guilty plea for Osterhoudt when he was arraigned on the charges. He has a status hearing set for Sept. 28, 2009 and is being held on $1,000,000 bond at the Twin Falls County Jail.

A Buhl man wanted by police for more than two years appeared this week in a Twin Falls courtroom to face allegations of incest, rape and lewd and lascivious conduct against a child family member, after authorities said he was arrested near the Mexican border in Arizona last month.

A grand jury indicted Franklin Ward Osterhoudt, 43, on March 21, 2007, for five counts of lewd conduct with a minor under 16, along with incest and rape against the child.

One can only think of the Neil Young song, “Old Man,” and think this is hardly what was intended by the lyrics.

Old man look at my life,
I’m a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I’m a lot like you were.

Old man look at my life,
Twenty four
and there’s so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two.
