Utah Lawmaker Admits Naked Hot Tub Encounter With Teen Girl

House Majority Leader Kevin Garn shocked the Legislature on the final night of the 2010 session, by confessing he paid a woman half his age $150,000 in 2002, to keep quiet about what he says was non-sexual encounter from 1983.

Simple case of blackmail, is what it is.

What’s a non-sexual encounter? Is having pictures of naked children a non-sexual encounter? Which is worse? The penalty should be more for reality than pictures, IMO.

john   March 12th, 2010 - 1:41 pm

So? Dems do far more.

“Republicans close the curtains when they have sex and probably don’t need to, while Dems leave the curtains wide open when they should close them.”

Sorry for sharing a hot tub?   March 12th, 2010 - 1:42 pm

Wait, 25 years ago when he was 28 he did NOT have sexual contact with a 15+ girl and then paid her $150k not tell anyone? Am I missing something? Is it because it was a “hot tub”? Or would he apologize if it were a pool? It wasn’t a “bath tub” right? How does this work for public swimming pools? If you’re in the same pool as an underaged person, should you be concerned? Was she wearing anything? Were they alone? I don’t know, something just seems weird about this.

… ah, never mind, the headline says they were naked.

Yea But, Bush did it too!

Where were her parents? This guy has been tortured for years over being in a hot tub with a kid? Ever been to a nudist beach? Gad what torture that is…the little buggers are running around all over the place…Only the passing pervert pays attention to it…They get run out of town if discovered…This guys about as neurotic as it gets…But then, he is a politician…

Yup .

You are thinking that a house MAJORITY leader in Utah is going to be a democrat?
You are not thinking clearly.

He is a Republican. And he was being blackmailed. And he did the wrong thing, then the right thing, in finally confessing.
More to come, I am certain.

Call me crazy if you will, but this looks like a pathetic attempt to divert the peoples attention away from what is going on with the health care debate. The frigging massah thing or whatever worked, & obama continued his relentless campaign on taxpayer money. I don’t trust any of these people, & if there is a (D) behind their name, they aught to get a real job, & stop ruining our country with insane policy.

Dave, Tn   March 12th, 2010 - 2:12 pm

Wonder if he paid with his own money?

“Kevin Garn (D) Utah”

LOL! You spelled (R) wrong!

saintpeeter   March 12th, 2010 - 2:22 pm

Democrats never claim to have any moral or ethical standards right? They just hold others to standards they won’t live up to themselves.

Denmocrats are hypocrites, sick perverts, pimps, and fraudsters of all types.

Hey Democrats, you’re dead as a party. America is sick of you.

julia   March 12th, 2010 - 2:27 pm

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha……..!

You right wing nutjob hypocrites never cease to outdo yourselves.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho he, he, he, ha, ha,…..!

OUR FOUNDER never had to deal with extortion attempts – http://www.inlibertyandfreedom.com/mjk.htm

Uncle Bouncy   March 12th, 2010 - 2:37 pm

I guess I am most shocked that Utah elected a Democrat

bitterweed   March 12th, 2010 - 2:54 pm

If he has gone straight..let it be. People once capable of blackmail generally remain so..

beck bites   March 12th, 2010 - 3:13 pm

Hahahahaha!!!!

He’s a Republican, NOT Democrat!!!!

Hahahahaha!!!!

He even served on the House Ethics Committee!

Hahahahaha!!!!

Start the sermons now, tea-baggin’ bloggers! Start your republican apologists’ march!

What? You want to chastise the man? Better yet, call him to voice your outrage — Home Phone: 801-544-3533 Work Phone: 801-776-0232

So anyway… politics is dirty whether Dems or Repub. Guess this guy is friends with Roman Polanski, eh?

J K   March 12th, 2010 - 3:42 pm

you get a standing ovation after confessing your sins? wow

Gandhi's Fist   March 12th, 2010 - 4:02 pm

Dude is a republican. The question is, is this focus just an attempt to get the image of a starkers Rahm poking Massa in the shower (both dems) or not? Don’t get excited Barney–he poked him with his finger.

demdicks   March 12th, 2010 - 4:49 pm

Terrible. Like Hannity says if you just keep it in your pants you never have to worry about these things.

Now, does the woman have to return the money or face extortion charges? Something tells me not, wouldn’t that also be part of the ‘healing process” she mentions in the article? The hot tub encounter was 27 years ago yet the extortion was only back in 2002, she should be brought up on charges and “heal” in jail.

One last thing, if he’d have just done the very same thing with a girl that was 18 or higher, we’d have a total non-story. I guess there’s another lesson there.

Julia, Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha……..!

You right wing nutjob hypocrites never cease to outdo yourselves.

James Madison was a right-wing “nutjob”, too.

beck bites, I’m sorry did Rham Emanuel come out and confess his little naked encounter yet? If we were keeping score of deviants, you’re side would be killing us by 1000 points. Difference is, we don’t defend our deviants, or elect them KNOWING they’re deviants, and Democrats do. Sorry, but your side still takes the cake when it comes to immorality, hypocrisy, and the destruction of the country.

awake   March 12th, 2010 - 5:45 pm

Who cares if he’s an R or D

Utah better get its house in order!

another righteous utahan   March 12th, 2010 - 6:04 pm

Another ethical public servant from Utah. He just HAD to do the right thing and confess. My, what courage–when you get caught or are blackmailed! Also the tanned and dyed one, with a questionable ethic smear himself– along with his five sons (none who have donned a uniform-but supported the war by driving dad around), Utah must be ripe with the purest, most cleansed of all citizens that America has bred. Lucky Utahans.

Whatwhatwhat   March 12th, 2010 - 6:11 pm

Ha! Notice the utter confusion amongst reich-wing teabaggers when they aren’t sure whether the perp in question is an (R) or a (D). LOL!

You morons are so transparent!

Steven   March 12th, 2010 - 6:26 pm

Teenage girl? Hot tub? Naked?

YEAH!

Army of Davids   March 12th, 2010 - 6:37 pm

This is about chasing a NO vote out of the Senate.

Less NO votes makes it easier to pass ObamaCare.

That’s what happened w/ Massa.

kmichaels   March 12th, 2010 - 7:25 pm

Dear Julia

Cant
Understand
Nonsensical
Troll

F Grey Parker   March 12th, 2010 - 8:25 pm

To Army of Davids – He’s not in the Senate, dude. He is a Utah STATE legislator.

To Truth Bites – You wrote “KNOWING they’re deviants, and Democrats do. Sorry, but your side still takes the cake when it comes to immorality, hypocrisy, and the destruction of the country.”

Are you kidding? Where’e the moral hand wringing from Republicans over Roy Ashburn, Mike Duvall, Mark Sanford, John Ensign, Alan David Berlin, Bruce Barclay, Vito Fossela, Robert McGee… I could on but that would mean going back more than 12 months.

Jamba   March 12th, 2010 - 9:27 pm

What ? ! ? A Republican politician involved in a sex scandal with a girl? That can’t be ! Everyone knows they prefer boys !

Maybe he’s a closet Democrat !

james   March 12th, 2010 - 9:58 pm

O.M.G. a twenty something boy in a hottub w/a girl. what happened to my country!

Buzz Bannister   March 12th, 2010 - 11:01 pm

CREEPY POLITICIANS   March 13th, 2010 - 5:45 am

It’s getting really OLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD to keep reading & hearing about all these illicit love affairs & unseemly dalliances… STRAIGHTEN OUT, YOU JERKS! You act like dumb-assed kids in a candy store the minute you get around any SKIRT you are not MARRIED TO! What a bunch of sickos!

More 2 tha story   March 13th, 2010 - 8:36 am

i dont get it.,he was in a hottube with a nude l4yrole…………… Of course there’s more, Why would anyone pay $150,000 if nothing happened. Oh yeah, he just happened to be nude, cause we all run around in front of little 14 year old girls nude. Nice standing ovation, do you think that was done cause every other creep in that “house” knows they’re next?

roger   March 13th, 2010 - 9:11 am

Legalize and normalize pedofilia, homosexuality, multiple sex partners, and bestiality; promote it in the schools; mandate all children go to government run preschool and have it taught there. Be done with it, oh enlightened ones.

And you think it bizarre that Muslims want infidels destroyed.

… just saying

NAMBLA   March 14th, 2010 - 2:02 pm

Democrats only support illicit acts between men and boys, not girls.
