The sting was led by the Lehi Police Department, with the assistance of other law enforcement agencies around the state and the FBI.
Sgt. Jeff Smith, a detective with Lehi’s Special Victims Unit, said there is no special setup for sting operations. He does what most people do when they go online—he uses his phone.
