The Utah County attorney called for an outside investigation and the resignation of the county’s top law enforcement officer, saying the sheriff has dredged up outlandish allegations of cannibalization and a “ritualistic” sex ring.
The Utah County Sheriff’s Office had announced it was investigating a “ritualistic child sexual abuse and child sex trafficking” case, but did not specifically name David Leavitt or anyone else.
Leavitt said he read an investigative report the day prior that contained decades-old accusations of an illegal sex ring involving 15 people. He and his wife were both named in that report, according to Leavitt. The law enforcement agency urged victims to come forward, but released few other details and did not name anyone suspected to be involved.
“I am calling upon Sheriff Mike Smith to open his office to an outside investigation,” Leavitt said, “where outside, independent investigators are able to investigate and confirm or deny that documents from a debunked investigation from more than a decade ago were or were not used for political purposes in a Utah County Attorney’s race.”
