(SALT LAKE CITY)—Utah’s House Majority Leader has said he paid a woman $150,000 to keep quiet about going nude “hot-tubbing” with her when she was a minor 25 years ago. In a shocking statement on the house floor, the 55-year-old Kevin Garn, a Layton resident, said he paid her to keep quiet about the incident during his unsuccessful U.S. congressional bid in 2002, but did not have sexual intercourse with her. Garn said the woman in question has been calling numerous media outlets and wanted to be open about the incident which occurred when he was 28 years old. The woman, who identified herself as Cheryl Maher, said this occurred when she was only 15. Garn’s legislative future in highly conservative Utah is uncertain but Utah Governor Gary Herbert’s spokeswoman, Angie Welling, said Herbert would not be calling for his resignation. This has been an ominous year for Utah’s legislative leaders as back in January, the state’s former Senate Majority Leader, Sheldon Killpack, resigned earlier this year after being arrested for driving under the influence.
