Meet Blake Floyd Cozzens, former GOP official, who responded to a "sting" ad for prostitution

Former Southern Utah GOP official pleads guilty to paying for sex



Prior to the sting operation, Blake Floyd Cozzens, 28, of Cedar City, held the position of treasurer for the Iron County Republican Party.

After filing the guilty plea in court, Cozzens was sentenced to 12 months of probation and a fine of $1,000.

Cozzens was among seven other men from Southern Utah who were arrested as part of the sting operation. They all responded to an ad for prostitution on backpage.com by a confidential informant, according to the probable cause statements filed by St. George Police in support of the arrests.

Each of the men negotiated sex acts in exchange for money in text messages with the confidential informant, according to court documents. They were arrested after meeting at a prearranged location and paying between $100 and $150 for the sex acts they had discussed.
