Tensions were flying between the Utah County Attorney and Sheriff Mike Smith on Wednesday.

County Attorney David Leavitt asked Smith to resign, even calling for an investigation into his activities. It all stems from an investigation into allegations of a ritualistic child sexual abuse and child sex trafficking case that took place over a 20-year period beginning in 1990.

During a news conference, Leavitt admitted that he and his wife were named in the allegations, saying the two were not guilty of cannibalizing and murdering young children. The Utah County Attorney's Office dropped charges against the therapist without prejudice and he was never convicted.
