Brandon Hartley – Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

Former deputy and academy instructor Brandon Hartley was accused of sexually assaulting a female cadet in 2021. The cadet alleged that Hartley initiated contact via Snapchat in April 2021, which escalated to multiple sexual assaults over the following weeks. Hartley resigned from the sheriff’s office during an internal investigation into similar allegations from a previous year. The cadet filed a lawsuit against Hartley and the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office, claiming sexual harassment and assault.
