    In 2021, Deputy Brandon Hartley, an academy instructor, was accused of sexually assaulting a female cadet multiple times. The assaults allegedly occurred in private settings, including a closet at the sheriff’s office. Hartley resigned 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 the department failed to support her and allowed the abuse to continue. The lawsuit is ongoing.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
