Three more women accuse Utah GOP activist of sexual assault

The Salt Lake Tribune


First Published 5 hours ago • Updated 1 minute ago

Three more women have come forward and accused GOP activist Gregory Nathan Peterson of sexually assaulting them, a sheriff said Friday.

Wasatch County Sheriff Todd Bonner said two women have given interviews to his detectives saying Peterson — who was already accused of date raping four women he met in Salt Lake County — kidnapped and sexually assaulted them. A third woman has made an allegation but has not yet decided whether she wants to provide a full report and cooperate with detectives, Bonner said.

"My understanding is [the allegations are] pretty similar to the others," Bonner said.

Peterson, Bonner said, met the women "outside of Wasatch County and he brings them to his cabin in the Heber area."

Bonner said detectives have sent information to the Wasatch County attorney to consider charges. No new charges had been filed as of Friday afternoon.

1. Just like Herman Cain. I'm sure all 7 women are just making it up.

I knew there would be more. That probably won't end the list either. I bet he's done this many times.
