Convicted Utah child sex offender under investigation for falsifying military records<\/strong><\/a>

SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) \u2014 A 2News investigation has unveiled false military claims made by Paul Bryant, who was the subject of a Lehi Police investigation in the Spring of 2022.<\/p>\n

In the Spring of 2022, Paul Bryant, the subject of a Lehi Police investigation was being interviewed, he introduced a 16-page document into the criminal investigation where he accused one of the women who reported him for being in their HOA park with his dog around children of being a \u201cliar.\u201d<\/p>\n

2News Investigates obtained that document and excerpts from police body camera footage during the investigation where he bragged about his secretive military past.<\/p>\n

Through countless records requests and a months-long exhaustive search for answers from the United States Army, we uncovered the elite military background he claimed to have only exists in his mind.<\/p>\n

His real military occupational specialty was far from what he boasted about to the Lehi Police sergeant who was investigating him for alleged violations of the sex offender registry for not disclosing he was HOA president and for being in the park among children.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The case is presented very well on the article link above. They also have some pretty good video of Bryant making the claims.<\/p>\n

The following caused me to scratch my head a bit…<\/p>\n

Stolen Valor doesn\u2019t only apply to people falsely claiming to have served in the military or claiming military awards like the Purple Heart, it also applies to those who embellish what their duties were in the military.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’ve always said that there is a formal “upper case” Stolen Valor – outlined by the Stolen Valor Act of 2013.\u00a0 You know, Silver Star, Purple Heart, Combat Action Ribbon, CIB, Bronze Star, etc.<\/p>\n

Then, there is what I call the “lower case” stolen valor – falsely claiming Navy SEAL, EOD, sniper, Combat Engineer, Military Police (or “Po-Po” in civilian street slang), Airborne Ranger, a butcher, a baker, a candlestick maker.<\/p>\n

Then, there are the cases of people claiming they were in “the suck” and they weren’t. This is ambiguous to me as to whether it is stolen valor uppercase or lowercase – if someone claims to have been in Grenada and they were stateside, is that a claim of combat (i.e. CIB or CAR)?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
