Allan Hadfield was convicted in 1987 of sodomy and sexual abuse of a child.
His children, a 12-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl, initially told investigators a sex ring, involving several adults and children, existed in their Lehi neighborhood. One of the children also told therapist Barbara Snow that Hadfield was abusing them. Hadfield denied the allegations, and Snow was accused of planting false memories.
Snow was involved in five probes in Utah involving alleged sex rings — two in Bountiful, two in Lehi and one in Midvale. The children in all five cases told investigators similar stories involving satanic rituals and multiple adults.
Investigators who looked into the memory-planting allegations against Snow dropped the cases due to lack of evidence.

Really interesting situation here. Messing with ones memory is very tough issue, as memory is not perfect. I think we all know that.
About two deaces ago a gentleman wrote a series of books detailing satanic ritualistic child abuse, always More..
So is Snow still under investigation or am I to read this that there had been probes, sometime in the past, that were dropped, again sometime in the past? They certainly need to be pursued.
Another truly badly written Deseret News story. The author doesn't really tell us anything. What is the point of writing this story? I would have to make my ninth-grader rewrite a story written like this before I would let her submit it to her More..
