A bit more reading reveals that:
Garn knew the girl when she was in fourth grade, age 9.
He was her sunday school teacher, and remained in a position of moral authority over her during the entire time of their "encounters."
The "hot tub" incident (she claims that there were numerous) occurred when she was 15, at the time an "employee" of Garn's. That indicates that she was "hired" at age 13 or 14, perhaps. And what job can a 15 year old "employee" do for company?
Garn and his LDS superiors used there positions of moral authority (for whatever that's worth) to ignore and cover up his behavior.
Garn, his church, his wife and son were used to coerce this girl/woman with guilt and religion.
The guy is a predator, a pervert, and a pedophile.
Welcome to Utah in all its glory.

Once again proving Paula Jones absolutely correct ~ if you come across to the boss he'll screw you again and again and again and in ways that have nothing to do with sex.
Hold out and sue him for $800,000 later on!
Honesty pays.

Oh, and for this “incident” he took her, at age 15, to Salt Lake, bought some booze, and went to a hot tub rent-by-the-hour establishment.

If he's a Democrat he should hang on a bit longer to prove to us they have some heterosexuals over there ~
The GOP could use some help in that area too.
To: AnotherUnixGeek
Well, not any more. Pretty much. The Democrats already drove our gay blades out of office in 2006.
There's still a great deal of work to do on their side though.

You said: “...but now it’s 2010 and in order to try to “new hand of Black Jack” he decides he’s going to go ahead & try the “she’s a blackmailer” angle since that works a little better under these circumstances.”
From the article: “The nondisclosure deal between Maher and Garn — which Garn says she has clearly violated — took months to finalize, according to documents provided to The Tribune by Maher.”
_____________________
Gee, all that hard work gone to waste! It’s sweet that the newspaper could point out how it all goes to support Garn’s version of events. Your summary is admirable.

Is this individual related to Jake Garn?

Why did the Deseret Newspaper, owned by the LDS church, sit on this story again for 8 years again?
And, as I mentioned in post #4, the Lds "prophet" has received info directly from Maher since '08. (So he knew details, too)
Cover-up in the Mormon church from the "prophet" on down?

Shouldn't she be charged?Charged with what?
Or sued for the $150,000 plus damages?
(I'm sure he could...but imagine him suing the one who right after turning 15, he talked her into hot tubbing a few times...in the nude...and she says more than that occurred...how would that look?)
