A former police vice squad lieutenant was arrested Tuesday following a prostitution sting after investigators say he offered to "manage" women.
David Moss, 51, of Lehi, was booked into the Utah County Jail for investigation of exploiting a prostitute, patronizing a prostitute, two counts of lewdness and sexual battery.
The Utah County Sheriff's Office conducted a "human trafficking operation" in Lehi on Valentine's Day. After posting a message on an undisclosed social media app, Moss — using the name "Pilot" — contacted what ended up being an undercover detective and arranged to pay $150 for "services such as kissing, touching and pleasure that Moss was looking for," according to a police affidavit.
About the same time, police said Moss contacted a second woman, who was also an undercover detective, using the same app.
In addition to being a former cop, Moss was also a religious leader and most recently worked for West Valley City government.
Wednesday afternoon, a spokesman for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints confirmed that Moss was a bishop at the time of his arrest but has since been removed from his position.
