Former St. George Police supervisor back in court

A former St. George Police Department supervisor 52 year old David Moss Moss appeared in 4th District Court in American Fork in June and entered into a plea agreement with prosecutors.

He pleaded guilty to a third-degree felony count of exploiting a prostitute and no contest to an amended class A misdemeanor count of sexual battery; the other charges were dismissed.

Less than a month later, Moss filed a motion to withdraw his no contest plea, asserting he did not fully understand the charge of sexual battery and does not believe he committed the crime.

The prosecution argued as a former lieutenant of the St. George Police Department and having served over 15 years in law enforcement, Moss should have fully understood the plea and the consequences.
