Gregory Nathan Peterson Dead: Well-Connected GOP Activist Facing Rape
Charges Found In Utah Cabin

SALT LAKE CITY — A Republican activist charged with raping five women
apparently committed suicide Tuesday at the Heber cabin where the
crimes allegedly took place, sheriff's officials said.

Wasatch County sheriff's officials were dispatched to the cabin after
Peterson missed an appointment with his attorneys, authorities said.
Chief Deputy Jared Rigby confirmed the body of Gregory Nathan Peterson
was found with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

A medical examiner's final determination on a cause of death will come
after an autopsy Wednesday morning.

Peterson, 37, had been out on bail since Oct. 19 on multiple charges
of rape, assault and kidnapping. He was to stand trial on 23 felony
charges and two misdemeanor counts.

Four women from Salt Lake County and one from Wasatch County testified
at hearing in August that Peterson sexually assaulted them at his
cabin. The women said Peterson fondled them over their clothing
without consent.

He's accused of meeting them on Mormon dating websites and at church
functions.

Peterson, a certified public accountant and the owner of Peterson
Wealth Management, has been a fixture at Utah Republican gatherings.
He helped organize the Rocky Mountain Conservatives Convention and
Barbecue two years ago at the cabin. Prominent Utah politicians
Peterson hosted include U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch, Gov. Gary Herbert, U.S.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz and others.

While Peterson has been involved in state politics and events, Utah
Republican Chairman Thomas Wright has said he never held a leadership
role or raised or donated money for the state party. Some considered
Peterson a self-styled tea party operative.

And we know how you paid Dem shills love to get a twin-killing on
Mormons and TEA.

Btw, the latest Obama-lie:

The New York Times corrects President Barack Obama:


"President Obama suggested that Mr. Romney was mistaken in seeking to
keep 10,000 American troops in Iraq. But the Obama administration
initially sought to do just that � and ultimately never managed to
negotiate an agreement to allow any American troops in Iraq.

"Mr. Obama sought to negotiate a Status of Forces Agreement that would
have allowed United States troops to stay in Iraq after 2011. Initially,
the Obama administration was prepared to keep up to 10,000 troops in
Iraq. Later, the Obama administration lowered the figure to about 5,000
troops � some 3,500 of which would be continuously based in the country
while the remainder would periodically be rotated through. The role of
the American forces would be to train Iraqi troops, patrol Iraq�s skies
and help Iraqi commandos fight Al Qaeda.

"Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki indicated that he might be willing
to work out an agreement to allow some American troops to stay. But the
Iraqis did not agree to an American demand that such an agreement be
submitted to their parliament for approval, a step the Obama
administration insisted was needed to ensure that any American troops
that stayed would be immune from prosecution under Iraqi law."
