SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah State Senator says a woman may have tried to entrap him at his hotel room, and lawmakers are asking for a police investigation.

Sen. Evan Vickers, R-Cedar City, told reporters he was getting ready to leave his hotel room at the Little America on Thursday night when a woman knocked on his door.

"I opened the door and there was a young lady standing there and she said 'Hi,' and I said, 'Hi, who are you?' And she said, 'I’m your date.' I said, 'No, you’re not.' She said, 'Yes, I’m your date.'"

Sen. Vickers said the woman refused to leave and insisted she was his "date."

"She was standing in front of the elevator and I said, 'I don’t know who you are and what you’re doing here,' and she said, 'No, you don’t understand. I’m your date.' I said, 'No I’m not and walked back into the room,'" he recalled.


He locked his door, and called a legislative colleague to walk with him out of the hotel. By the time that lawmaker arrived, the woman had left. Sen. Vickers said he also alerted hotel security who did not find the woman, but was reviewing hotel security video.

The situation alarmed Senate leadership, who called lawmakers in on Friday to inform them of the situation and warn that someone may be trying to entrap them.

"I'm shocked," said Senate Minority Leader Gene Davis, D-Salt Lake City.

Senate President Wayne Niederhauser, R-Sandy, said the incident has been reported to Salt Lake City police and to the Utah Highway Patrol, which provides security to the Utah State Capitol.

"When people can make money like this it attracts malintent," Sen. Niederhauser said, referencing a British tabloid's report on Wednesday quoting an escort named Brie Taylor, who claimed former Rep. Jon Stanard, R-St. George, had solicited sex from her. Questions have been raised about whether Taylor was paid for her story.

Stanard abruptly quit the Utah State Legislature earlier this week. The House Speaker's office said it was for "personal and family issues."

So either a rival (or a tabloid) was trying to set him up, some buddies were trying to help him out and didn't get the chance to clue him in, or his wife was testing him.

Or the God Damned Commies looking to take out candidates in the next election.

That would be the first option I mentioned.

Perhaps her name is Yur Dayte

This would be my first guess.

The democraPs have honed this sex angle to a fine science. And the asses in the media work right along with them in their joint efforts to destroy political enemies errrr opponents.

Nah. Just another dyslexic female. Got the room numbers confused.

Senator Niederhauser seems easily shocked. He also uses the term malintent which is not a real word.

That the scheme didn't work as planned?

He was in 96 and she was looking for 69.

Maybe the new political version of SWATing?

If this is the real deal, it may not be political at all. She may have been setting him up for a robbery.

It may be to the reporter who wrote the story.

Or 71...

likely just an escort who went to the wrong address. SLC has a large number of escorts who do a booming business with little attention from we Leo's. The escorts work out of the hotels regularly even the high end Little America. The escorts are pushy and aggressive. Its likely the escort service realized their mistake otherwise the politician would have received a visit from the pimp/security/debt collector later that evening for a bit of a beat down and then the robbery Yooper was talking about.

It's a word. Means malicious intent

I gotta agree with the first guy. That isn’t a real word in the classic sense. I understand new words are created over time but malintent certainly didn’t exist until recently if it even rises to the standard anyway which I doubt. Malcontent yes, malintent no.

I’m not the English police though.

Sorry to contribute to the thread drift.

I believe the lyrics of Aqualung include the word malintent.
