Utah County Attorney calls for sheriff to resign, saying the top cop may have tried to implicate him in ‘ritualistic’ sex ring investigation

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.”

Me thinks he doth protest too much.

🤯🤯

Sheriffs shouldn’t exist

Leavitt needs to be tossed in a huge way. The guy is an absolute joke and embarrassment to the entire state. Sex crimes, especially against children, are serious business. Also, methinks the lady doth protest too much.

zipillinois What That sounds like Qanon crap.

It's time to get your hands on that report, Trib. Voters need to know which yahoo to jettison.

Saw this last night on TV news and Sheriff Smith very professional and closed with his comments while investigation ongoing.

That sounds very Utah.
