Just moments ago, news broke of the murder of a woman associated with former Republican legislator Kevin Garn, who tearfully admitted to having spent an evening naked in a hot tub with this same woman when she was only 15 years old. I recall his resignation at the end of the legislative session some two years ago, where Garn received a standing ovation from his comrades, much to the chagrin of everyone with any morals, which clearly does not include the Legislature.
The story of this woman, Cheryl Maher, that emerged was both salacious and evidence that the priviledged members of society live in a different universe than the rest of us. Ms. Maher alleged, and Rep. Garn admitted, that in the mid 1980s, he induced the then 15-year-old girl to remove all of her clothing and join the totally nude Garn in his hot tub. He denies any inappropriate touching, but Geeeezus, unchaperoned naked underage girls in hot tubs seems to be an obvious indiscretion.
Over many years, Garn communicated with Ms. Maher, and ultimately paid her a $150,000 bribe to keep her mouth shut, and officially, to compensate her for the emotional distress of having the visual memory of hot tubbing with a naked old man. However, she reneged and blackmailed Garn for more money. That's when he up and quit the Legislature on the last day of the session, and admitted this wrongdoing.
Then the local media actually got off their asses and did a little research on former Mormon Bishop Garn, discovering that he also had a DUI a few years ago. Ms. Maher faded away from interest until today.
Now, word is that an intruder entered Cheryl Maher's home and murdered her, then killed himself. Details are elusive right now, but I doubt that Garn paying more money to her would have made any difference.
