Frank Mylar Charged Bribery in Elections

Today, Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill announced a felony charge filed against Frank Demcy Mylar for an alleged bribe he offered while he was a candidate for Utah Attorney General.

On April 19, 2024, the defendant sent a text message to Trent Christensen offering him a job at the Utah Attorney General’s Office if he endorsed Mr. Mylar. The defendant later texted Mr. Christensen asking him to disregard the previous text. Mr. Christensen later reported the text to law enforcement.

The defendant is charged with one count of third-degree felony bribery in elections.

“We appreciate Mr. Christensen coming forward with the information about this alleged crime in a timely manner to law enforcement. We also appreciate the Murray Police Department for conducting a thorough investigation,” said Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill. “All persons accused of wrongdoing are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.”
