Ten years ago, a former Utah corrections officer disappeared after being convicted of using his badge to solicit sexual acts from a woman he met through Craigslist.
He had fled to Hawaii with his girlfriend and his daughter because he feared he would be killed in prison and that his young daughter would be left without a father, he wrote in a letter to 3rd District Judge Heather Brereton ahead of Monday’s sentencing hearing.
On Monday he was sentenced to zero to five years in the Utah State Prison, the same place he had worked for just under a year.
