I need your help exposing a bad man.
I know many of you care deeply about the issue of child trafficking and abuse. I know you also understand that many of the perpetrators of these abuses get away with it because they are protected by powerful people.
This is one of those cases and while I don't have much faith that the legal system will do anything about the crimes (They've failed to thus far), I do think we can raise awareness and expose this person and their attempt to rehabilitate their image.
The man I am speaking about is David Leavitt and this is his story. I will do my best to keep this as simple as possible.
In late May 2022, Leavitt was serving as the Utah County Attorney and was in the middle of a heated re-election battle.
On May 31st, the Utah County Sheriff’s Office announced an investigation into what they called “ritualized child sexual abuse”. The investigation subsequently discovered previous reports alleging “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.
While the UCSO had not publicly named a specific suspect in their investigation, one day after the investigation was announced David Leavitt held a press conference declaring that he was not a cannibal or a murderer - an accusation no one had levied against him.
Leavitt shared a 151-page document titled “victim statement” related to a 2012 case involving allegations of sexual abuse of children. Leavitt and several other people are named in the statement as being involved with a group practicing ritual child sex abuse. He claimed the Sheriff’s investigation was a political attack on him related to the then-upcoming Utah primary.
The documents shared by Leavitt DID relate to the ongoing UCSO investigation but they DID NOT name Leavitt as a suspect (at least publicly).
Leavitt would go on to lose his election and said it was the result of a "misinformation campaign against me not only over the last month, but the last six months".
The accusations against Leavitt (and his wife) never made it to court (that's a whole other story I've reported on) so we will never know if he was indeed guilty of rape, cannibalism, and murder. Essentially, he was accused of being a part of a "satanic" cult within the Mormon Church.
Meanwhile, on the same day Leavitt lost his election Utah Fox-affiliate FOX 13 reported that Leavitt may be implicated in an adoption scheme turned human trafficking investigation. The FOX 13 Investigates team released a video of Utah County Attorney David Leavitt discussing how he used his political influence to work around laws regarding adopting Native American children. In the video Leavitt explains how he brokered a deal with the Northern Cheyenne Tribe in Montana by telling them he could strike a deal with Ukraine to import their buffalo.
Leavitt details how he struck the deal with the tribe leadership and was eventually able to convince the tribal authorities to allow the adoption. The little girl is now considered to be Leavitt’s step-foster-great niece.
FOX 13 reports that the video was recorded by a documentarian in 2020 and has since been submitted to Homeland Security Investigations as part of a criminal human trafficking investigation.
FOX 13 Investigates dropped another bombshell involving a Homeland Security Investigation against Leavitt. Noel Engels, a former analyst with Homeland Security Investigations, told FOX 13 Investigates that his team had been investigating sexual allegations against Leavitt for several years. Engels said his team had received the video about Leavvit and added it to the case file investigation on Leavitt on suspicion of human trafficking.
However, five months after receiving the video, Engels and his team were removed from the case. He filed a whistleblower complaint and received a letter from the United States Office of Special Counsel in response.
Noel Engels would eventually have his career within the US government ruined as him and his associates were taken off the case, and Engels himself became the focus of a government investigation.
Now, this brings us up to today.
David Leavitt retired from Utah politics and moved to Scotland with his wife and the trafficked native girl. They have since bought Knockderry Castle, rebranded themselves as remodeling influencers, and now run an instagram account with 1.5 million followers. It sickens me.
I have compiled all this information together (And more I will share soon) because I cannot just sit silent while this couple goes on to live a happy life while the family of the young girl are sitting back home desperate for their daughter.
I will have more to say very soon but for now please read the investigation in the comments and share it! If you are on IG ask David and his wife about this situation!
This is your chance to help, and maybe, somehow, good will prevail and this sick man will be held accountable, at the least, for the illegal adoption.
Thanks
