Utah LDS senator used public money to hire hooker?

Post by _I have a question »

A British newspaper reported Thursday that Rep. Jon Stanard, R-St. George, resigned abruptly Tuesday after he met a Salt Lake City call girl twice for sex, and it released racy texts that it says he sent to her.

The Daily Mail of London said call girl Brie Taylor alleges Stanard paid her for sex during two business trips to Salt Lake City in 2017. Taylor asserts he paid her $250 for each of the one-hour sessions in June and August — on dates when the Legislature held interim meetings.

Stanard is married and voted for stricter laws against pornography. He also said on his website — which has since been deleted — “I am a strong advocate for conservative family values. I am pro life, as well as for traditional marriage.”

Taylor alleges Stanard first approached her March 7, 2017 — near the end of last year’s general session of the Legislature.

He allegedly wrote: “Looking at your website. Can you meet?”

In a second text he added: ‘Would need to be tonight. Only in town a little. Anytime. Can do in or out. At hotel in downtown SL.”

They exchanged a string of messages but Taylor was unavailable because her 10-year-old son was sick.

He messaged her again the following month but she was again unavailable, and they met for the first time at the Fairfield Inn by Marriott Hotel in Downtown Salt Lake City on June 20.

According to the newspaper, the escort of three years, who has appeared in porn films, says Stanard returned on a business trip that summer and they met at the same hotel on Aug. 22.

“He doesn’t drink so we didn’t do anything like that,” she said, “but during that session they were trying to pass medical marijuana so we talked about that.”


I’m guessing his Bishop has instructed his wife to look the other way else risk losing her eternal family...

So he was looking for wife #2, and wanted a test drive.

I saw today that Julia Louis-Dreyfus has posted a picture of herself after cancer surgery. So I checked out her Twitter feed.

Two tweets down, she had retweeted:

I would laugh at this if it wasn't so true!

Pretty sure Brie violated article one of the Hooker's Code of Ethics by revealing information about her clients. That could have a chilling effect on the rest of the legislature.

An arrest of another Utah Republican official. Wonder if the Southern Utah wards will focus their upcoming sermons around the subject of chastity?

I recently overheard Southern Utah Repos advising their colleagues to go a little further to the southwest next time. Rumor has it that what goes on there seems to stay there.

No, it was his own money.
