A months-long investigation into the conduct of three Davis County corrections deputies found that they had been “relentless” in their unwanted and inappropriate advances toward young, female co-workers found numerous policy violations.
The investigation also found that the deputies’ supervisors ignored, or did not fully investigate, complaints.
One deputy resigned, two others got time off without pay and two supervisors were demoted.
In addition to habitually hanging around the work area of young, female clerks, and repeatedly calling them and sending them messages, the investigation found that the deputies had on multiple occasions physically made female co-workers uncomfortable — including forcing a woman into an unwanted hug, grabbing a woman’s buttock at the gym and making sexual advances that were inappropriate, leading at least one woman to quit her job with the county, according to the documents.
