'Phant Phamily Values

The Majority (Republican) leader of the Utah House of Delegates has been forced to reveal that when he was 28, he went nude hot-tubbing with a 15 year old that worked for him in the warehouse that he managed.

What's more, he paid $150,000 in hush money to her when he tried to run for Congress:
In the midst of his 2002 congressional campaign, Utah House Majority Leader Kevin Garn paid $150,000 to a woman threatening to go public with a past relationship.

………

Maher's story is this: In 1985, then 15 years old, Maher worked for then 30-year-old Garn at his business, Pegasus Records and KSG Enterprises.

She said Garn, who was married, struck up a relationship with her and one night took her to a location in Salt Lake City where they hot-tubbed together nude.
It would be sleazy even if she weren't 15. She was his employee, and this is sexual harassment.

And if that weren't squicky enough, he is her, "onetime Sunday school teacher."

One note: as far as I can tell, Kevin Garn is not related to former Utah Senator Jake Garn.
