“A warrant was issued on this very serious matter. We will pursue all available means to ensure his appearance in court,” Gill said.“SMYTH left school and returned to Canada. SMYTH was a member of the University of Utah’s diving team, and according to University of Utah records, was on scholarship," it said.
"Upon being notified by the University’s Office of Equal Opportunity of a pending investigation, Ben Smyth was immediately suspended on Feb. 20 from all team activities. We take matters of this type very seriously, and have continued to monitor the situation. We will not have further comment as this matter proceeds through the legal process,” the department said.
He also allegedly told police that “he has had sex with many women for their first time” and provided officers with the names of two character witnesses, KSL reported.
