Ex-Scottsdale Trainer Sentenced to 34 Years for Multiple Sexual Assaults

Prosecutors relied on repeated victim descriptions, evidence of force, plus forensic findings to win convictions that closed a decade-long prosecution.

Overview

  • Tevin Terrell Favor was sentenced Friday to 34 years in prison by Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Stasy Avelar, with nine years for three counts, seven years for a fourth count, and 59 days credit.
  • A jury found Favor guilty on all four felony sexual-assault counts after a trial that began in April and ended with verdicts on May 28, 2026.
  • Prosecutors tied attacks reported from 2012, 2015, 2018, and April 21, 2024 together by pointing to similar victim descriptions, repeated use of force, and forensic rape-kit findings.
  • Following the April 21, 2024 house party assault in the 36th Street and Camelback area, investigators say Favor deleted his social media, messaged clients that his gym was closing except the victim, and was arrested and booked on June 5, 2024.
  • Favor was listed as a 2012 ASU preseason walk-on who never played in games and was previously acquitted in a separate 2020 trial stemming from a 2018 arrest, a background prosecutors said underscored the importance of pattern evidence in historic sexual-assault cases.
