Police in Utah County have confirmed the existence of a ritualistic child sex abuse ring operating for decades in the state and investigative journalists have learned that it involves high profile individuals.
The Utah County Sheriff’s Office launched an investigation into alleged sexual abuse of children and child trafficking in April 2021 after allegations spanning over a two-decade period.
Upon launching their investigations discovered that other victims had previously reported similar forms of ritualistic sexual abuse and trafficking that occurred in Utah County, Juab County, and Sanpete County during the time between 1990 and 2010 Yahoo News reported.
“Criminal charges, we believe it will get to that point, but we just haven’t gotten there yet,” said UCSO Sgt. Spencer Cannon. “The sooner the better. We don’t want to let anything sit longer than is necessary.”
UCSO declined to release any further information Fox News 13 reported.
FOX 13 Investigates learned that some of the subjects of the investigation are high-profile Utahns but the UCSO will neither confirm nor deny the assertion.
“We’re just being as careful as we can before we toss names out,” Cannon said. “Any given individual… The chips fall where they are, and we follow them.” The Sheriff’s Office said.
