A civil lawsuit filed in federal court accuses Utah County Attorney David Leavitt of personally taking over a case in which his friend and campaign donor was named as a defendant.
Mark Stewart Allen's charges of felony stalking against a woman were dismissed without prejudice.
According to the complaint, Leavitt"engaged in illegal, discriminatory and abhorrent conduct" by taking over the case. "It shouldn't have been dismissed in the first place," said Lorie Hobbs, a victim's rights attorney representing the woman."It should have gone to trial. That's what the victim desired."
According to the complaint, Allen repeatedly violated the terms of a civil stalking injunction by delivering flowers to the woman, the woman's mother, and the woman's grandmother. The complaint also states Allen"disseminated intimate pictures."
