Five women have now come forward alleging that then-Provo Police Chief John King sexually harassed or assaulted them during the three years that he led the Utah County police department.
And as attorneys for the women have filed notices in recent weeks that they intend to sue Provo, city attorneys have indicated in emails that they may ask for a criminal investigation into King’s conduct.
In a demand letter filed with the city earlier this week, attorney Michael Young alleges Provo officials were “deliberately indifferent” to complaints from several women in the department alleging that King leered at them, groped them and made inappropriate comments.
