Utah County Sheriff Accuses County Attorney of Murder and Cannibalization of Kids ...
... on the word of a convicted sex offender the County Attorney is extraditing back to the USA. And it honestly has nothing to do with the County Attorney being up for re-election, and progressive, relative to the QAnon sheriff and his preferred candidate ...
A wild QAnon conspiracy theory that has followers convinced progressives rape and eat kids has bubbled into a small county in Utah.
Utah County Attorney David Leavitt, who is running for re-election, is calling for the immediate removal of the county sheriff, Mike Smith, over a bizarre report implicating Leavitt in a “ritualistic” sex ring known for “cannibalizing young children.”
The 151-page report, which was released by the sheriff Wednesday among law enforcement but has not been made public, is said to name Leavitt and his wife as integral figures in the trumped up conspiracy. The report claims the abuse took place between 1990 and 2010 and was carried out in three Utah counties.
...
“I am calling upon Sheriff Mike Smith to open his office to an outside investigation, 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,” Leavitt said in a statement. “The allegation that I am asserting is that the sheriff’s office is using its position for political gain and accusing them of abusing and cannibalizing and murdering children. And no, I will not step aside.”

Leavitt is currently up for reelection and is deeply unpopular with the Sheriff's office in Utah County due to the fact that he is what one might call a "progressive prosecutor." One of his first actions as county attorney was to establish a pre-filing diversion program, which allow those accused of non-violent minor crimes to enter into an agreement with his office to "complete community service, life classes or drug treatment" in exchange for charges not being filed against them, which — despite producing results — deeply upset police and Republican politicians in the state who don't care so much about what is effective as they do about the sheer joy of sending people to prison for minor infractions. Leavitt has also established a Conviction Integrity Unit to investigate wrongful convictions, which can't have made them too happy either.
His office also announced in January the arrest of one Nicholas Rossi (AKA Nicholas Alahverdian, Nicholas Alahverdian Rossi, Nicholas Edward Rossi, Nicholas Alahverdian-Rossi, Nick Alan, Nicholas Brown, Arthur Brown, Arthur Knight), the previously mentioned convicted sex offender who had faked his own death and was hiding out in Scotland. His identity was discovered, however, when he turned up in a Scottish hospital to get treatment for COVID, though he denied being who authorities said he was.
"In 2020, the Utah County Attorney’s Office worked in coordination with the Utah Department of Public Safety — State Bureau of Investigation’s Sexual Assault Kit Initiative unit to establish a multi-disciplinary team to review old sexual assault cases where the original sexual assault kits had not been tested," Leavitt's Office explained in a statement. "One of the cases involved a 2008 sexual assault where the suspect was Nicholas Rossi."
The Salt Lake Tribune reports that the only forum in which they were accused of anything was on Rossi's completely bananapants website, where he continues to claim he is a British man named Arthur Knight who has absolutely no idea who this Nicholas Rossi person is.
