Satanic Ritual Abuse Carefrontation at Brigham Young University
3-8-2025 Protest Group Confrontation of BYU Professor Takes An Unexpected Twist
I hadn’t planned to go to Utah, a state I’d never visited, though I have dear friends who live there. I was headed to sunny Santa Barbara, CA in my first duo caravan experience, following a cute RV called a Dolphin, driven by my friend and fellow survivor of Organized Extreme Abuse, Ron Alan.*
Finally! I thought. The group Careavan is launching!
However, my most valuable asset and guide is my intuition, which I experience as a loving communication portal to divine consciousness and goodness. When it speaks to me, I listen, and when I get spiritual direction, I follow it. That’s how I’ve stayed not just alive through incalculable odds, but actually thriving in most areas of my life. (I’m still missing my late dog Sparky, ❤️🩹 but three sweet dreams about him have helped! I still feel lonely and long for a love-partner, but I trust things will unfold as they ought.)
So when I heard about an upcoming event involving boots-on-the-ground SRA awareness activism in Utah, led by a journalist I admired, I asked inside what was my best direction: stay with Ron northwest, or head northeast. My intuition said GO TO UTAH! So I went. Ron headed northwest, also following his intuition, bidding me a sweet fare-the-well:
“Keep in touch, free bird.” 🥰
If you read my last post, you already know I arrived in Utah, because I wrote about attending one of the most healing experiences of my life to date there, a vigil for SRA survivors held on 3-1-2025. This is why I listen to my intuition; it may take me in unexpected directions, but it always steers me true!
Below is a video clip of the ❤️🔥vigil❤️🔥 at the end of that rally. That’s me bawling, breathing, and cheerfully welcoming other survivors up to the stage (on the left with the hat). I was honored to be standing next to a fellow SRA activist, Asia Raine (in white), whose story was featured in the 50 Voices of Ritual Abuse project and is a prominent Utah whistleblower.
It was lovely to join this brave group of people, welcomed to rise up and shine by media personalities Jason and Alexia Preston of We Are The People Utah. This is a clip from a longer video interview they made of survivor Marybeth, who was also a keynote speaker at this rally, wearing beautiful bright pink in the video.
Here is a longer clip that includes mainstream news added coverage of the event, and highlights the prayer and rousing rally speakers:
That successful protest/vigil built momentum in the growing Utah SRA/sex trafficking justice community towards another to be held the following Saturday, a group gathering at Brigham Young University to confront a credibly-alleged** perpetrator of child rape, Chelom Leavitt, who was scheduled to give a talk there.
**What does “credibly-alleged” mean? To me, it means that the allegations have been made by a sane person (in this case, multiple people), are coherently organized, and seem plausible. In my experience growing up in the dark world of SRA, the complaints — though very painful to read — were absolutely plausible. It also lends credibility when such complaints are made to law enforcement and filed as criminal testimony evidence, like these were.
This was a flyer handed out at the previous conference where Chelom Leavitt was scheduled to speak (on 3-1-2025), placed by protesters on attendee windshields. Alerted in advance, Leavitt did not attend that day, but sent a recorded talk instead.
Below is the call to action regarding the follow-up 3-8-2025 event at BYU, put out by investigative journalist and rape justice advocate called Goel. I interviewed Goel in September 2024 about the occupation of the Salt Lake City-area LDS community by the Church of Satan, and have followed his investigative work closely. He wrote:
This weekend, we’re going to show up to the Gordon B. Hinckley Center at 9 a.m. for a free breakfast and the opportunity to ask Chelom Leavitt to deny or confirm the allegations of sexual abuse against her and her husband David by Rachel, Eliza, and Katherine Hamblin. You can show up too, by getting your free tickets on Eventbrite. Since there is zero indication that law enforcement ever questioned either of the Leavitts about those allegations during the 2012 to 2014 investigation of David Lee Hamblin, during which his daughters named David and Chelom Leavitt as members of the Church of Satan, accusing them of child rape, trafficking, and murder, we’re going to ask the hard questions every single time Chelom Leavitt makes an appearance.
For too long, victims have been the ones to feel discomfort while their abusers have been comforted by the Church, which insists that victims forgive their abusers even when those abusers have shown zero contrition or acknowledgment of their criminal wrongdoing. It is time to make perpetrators feel uncomfortable. It is time for answers.
I felt empowered to extend my stay in Utah and attend this next event, so I registered for my first visit to Brigham Young University, on International Women’s Day:
When I drove up to the Gordon B. Hinckley conference center a few minutes before the event started, I noticed Goel exiting the building with several other people, flanked by a security guard. A police car was parked nearby, and I rolled down my window and asked what was up. I learned that Brigham Young University security had recognized and confronted Goel and others with him after they arrived, and demanded they leave the event before it began. Being peaceful protesters, they did. They had not said nor done anything besides entering the building, registering, or sitting down.
Goel has written about this experience, including an excellent section on Utah’s dismal response to rape crimes and the perp-popular “false memory defense” psyop, in this article:
Shocked but not, I went immediately back to my intuition to ask - what should I do now? Goel, my fearless leader and brave protector, is gone!
GO IN ANYWAYS was the advice, so I took a breath, parked Goldie, and entered the event alone.
Affirmation:
God is my protector, showering and empowering me with love and light.
Gulp.
There were perhaps 100 people in attendance, who appeared to be mainly wholesome-looking students from BYU. I appreciated the delicious breakfast and the first speaker on the science of successful social connections (better in person!), receiving no dark vibes at all.
The second speaker was Chelom Leavitt. She was polished, poised and articulate, offering a talk on healthy, sacred sexuality in marriage. Quite a contrast from the allegations detailed about her in the flyer above!
I sat at my table near the front and pondered what to do. I felt anger as I considered her abuse allegations, and the idea that she was being protected and promoted by BYU and Utah’s massively funded and organized rape denial establishment that includes the police, politicians, the legal system/legislature, the LDS church leadership, and city Sheriff Mike Smith. Should I interrupt her in front of everyone, a form of protest known as “DISRUPT”?
I texted Goel, who had let me know his group had gone for fellowship at the Black Bear Diner. He answered back with advice NOT to disturb the event, as BYU security and the Utah police could easily arrest me. So, I waited, filling out a postcard on the table:
After the talk, warmly applauded, I realized I had to say something.
I got in Chelom Leavitt’s admiring line, quite long, and listened to several coeds tell her things like, “You have changed my life, literally…I’m going into social impact change and gender equality and women’s advocacy because of you, that’s my new life goal.”
I thought, If this is what modern Church of Satan sexual abusers look and sound like, no wonder no one believes victims!
Finally, last in line, it was my turn to speak. She was rather petite, up close, and pretty. This was my best recollection of the key parts of our conversation:
Me: Hi, I’m Anastasia Sprout. Can I talk with you about something serious?
CL: Sure.
Me: I’m a survivor of Satanic Ritual Abuse, and I’m concerned you are too.
[In my experience, all SRA perps are also victims - it’s a multi-generational deal.]
CL: I am not, but thank you for being concerned about me.
Me: You know about the allegations against you.
CL: I do, and this has been going on for four years. They are all false, 100% false. I don’t even know these people who have also been named [in the sex trafficking/occult conspiracy].
It’s important to insert here that this is unlikely, because THERE ARE WELL OVER 100 PEOPLE NAMED IN THIS UTAH/SALT LAKE CITY AREA SEX TRAFFICKING/CHURCH OF SATAN CONSPIRACY! See:
Just then the security guard and an event usher came up to Chelom and asked if she wanted them to walk her to her car. I gave them my best Obi-Wan Kenobe smile, hoping not to get arrested. I knew at my age, with my newly shorn butch-pixie haircut, I did not look like a BYU co-ed. I thought the conversation was finished for sure.
To my surprise, Chelom waved them off, saying she wanted to talk with me, and we should walk down a private hall off the event space so as not to disturb others. And so we did and our conversation continued, with Chelom stating that she had seen the flyer Goel created about her with the victim allegations.
CL: I don’t know what to say other than, I couldn’t read the whole thing because it was so sad and disturbing.
I knew the feeling!
I asked her why she thought people were doing this [making these allegations against her].
She said she thought she and her husband were being set up by the sheriff for discrediting, even though the courts had always found her husband innocent of all charges of wrongdoing.
Chelom’s husband is David Leavitt, who has been written about extensively by Goel, for example this quote:
David Leavitt managed to incinerate his political career by holding an ill-advised press conference to preemptively deny being a member of a satanic cult that raped and murdered children, while also engaging in cannibalism. No law enforcement agency or employee had accused Leavitt of any criminal acts, but Leavitt managed to conflate the Utah County Sheriffs Office investigation into ritual abuse allegations with the so-called “Satanic Panic” allegations of the Eighties.
I agree with Chelom and David Leavitt that David Leavitt was always Mike Smith’s primary target in the ritual abuse investigation conducted by the Utah County Sheriffs Office. I agree with that because I know for a fact that he was due to conversations with multiple law enforcement sources. Where I differ from the Leavitts is on the accuracy of the allegations against them, because over two and a half years of work, I have encountered multiple victims outside of the Hamblin Victims Statements who name David Leavitt as a ritual abuser, rapist, trafficker, and murderer.
…
CL went on to describe her experience of being under scrutiny after being named as a perpetrator by the daughters of David Lee Hamblin (also accused by them):
“It has been hell…I very much feel for Rosie and her girls…we supported them in the divorce, which is why David Hamblin did what he did, putting these false memories into his children.
She felt that Goel had created the meritless Investigations in Ritual Abuse to stir up opposition to her husband and harm David Leavitt’s re-election campaign as a County Attorney. She said her husband had been holding the police accountable for ignoring rape victims, not sending rape charges to the county attorneys office, and destroying rape kits, and because of this, the police didn’t like them and constantly harassed them.
This claim is disputed in Goel’s investigations, written about here:
I asked her about the demonstration the previous week, and she said,
It was disturbing. I’m trying to do good and help people understand about healthy relationships, and they are giving harmful, undermining messages…[Goel] wrote an article about how I was so cowardly, but I wasn’t cowardly. I wasn’t going to ruin the conference for all the other people that wanted help.
This was Goel’s article Chelom is referencing, about the 3-1-25 anti-pornography conference that she sent a recorded talk to rather than go in person, as the result of the protest and vigil gathered outside:
This takes me to the most difficult part of my care-frontation with Chelom Leavitt: when I stated I was struggling to believe her, because almost everyone who is accused of satanic abuse of children uses the “false memory” defense, and yet it has been clearly and credibly debunked (as a calculated deception created by the pedo-criminal organizations themselves). I told her I am inclined to believe victims, who have so much to lose by filing complaints. To this, she leaned in closely and said,
I know something very bad happened to those girls. I have no doubt.
But my husband and I had nothing to do with it…I actually work for the opposite [of abuse]…I’m trying to get the message out there, women need to speak up, women need to feel empowered to have healthy, equal relationships.
As she said this, I looked carefully into her eyes, trying to discern truth. What I saw and felt was not her conviction, but sheer terror.
Chelom framed the situation she’s in as a malicious, politically-motivated attack on her and her husband, the good county attorney championing rape victims’ rights for justice. She described herself as a public educator standing for women’s empowerment - and indeed, that was the veneer of the talk I had just heard.
But her up close energy field, from the moment she said “I know something very bad happened to those girls,” was charged with a horrified, desperate pleading. I felt shocked and shaken, but contained myself as her mask snapped back in place and she concluded the conversation:
Really the biggest issue is trying to shut down these conversations and create shame around all of this…which is exactly the thing that I’m working towards through research and through public relations.
Those I’ve spoken with in the Utah SRA support community agree that the shadowy Church of Satan hiding behind the LDS fake wholesome façade (Keep Sweet!) is engaged in a fierce public relations campaign as damage control for the growing local unrest catalyzed by courageous survivors filing complaints, Goel investigating them and finding merit, We Are The People Utah carrying the message to a wider audience, Relentless Hope for fierce victim advocacy, and other victim support organizations and concerned Utah citizens - many of them LDS members in good standing!
It will be up to the wider court of public opinion to decide whom to believe, and what to do about it. I thought she was lying, and spinning a fantasy to cover it up.
After I left the event, I sat down at my desk in my Goldie campervan and meditated on what had just happened. I felt my body begin to tremble and discharge waves of fear that I had empathically picked up off Chelom…and perhaps felt myself being alone with her in a dark hallway. I recalled something I hadn’t asked her about. She portrayed having a happy marriage to David Leavitt, yet Goel uncovered legal documentation of divorce proceedings filed by Chelom herself a year ago:
On February 5, 2024, Chelom Leavitt filed for divorce from her husband, former Utah County Attorney David Leavitt. The petition is not available for purchase on Xchange, and therefore the grounds for divorce are unknown. From the records, it would appear that the Leavitts have waived their time and education requirements in order to expedite their divorce.
Why did she file for divorce? Apparently the petition was withdrawn, and they still remain married. Is Chelom actually trapped in an abusive marriage herself, while representing as a marriage expert? She had looked deeply panicked at the end of our conversation: why?
As I focused within, the trembles shifted to sadness, and I wept for a while. I called a friend for support, and learned more about what was grieving me.
I had set out in anger and righteous condemnation, at Chelom and anyone who would rape, film, and perpetrate any other kind of abuse on a child: they must be called out!
Yet seeing her petrified face, even briefly, reminded me of many children’s faces I had seen as a slave to the Satanic cult myself, and my own powerlessness to save them. I recalled my own forced perpetration, feeling utterly helpless to do anything besides what my captors wanted. Was I seeing myself in her eyes, if I hadn’t gotten free?
My outrage melted away as I understood anew that at least for some the adults perpetrating these horrific crimes, they truly are children developmentally - deeply damaged, darkly possessed, and trapped. I felt compassion for her, which surprised me. In some ways she reminded me of my own mother***, whose abuse of me was profound, yet she never reclaimed her abuse memories in a coherent way before she died. So she couldn’t properly atone for them. I had to do that work for her.
What we can’t feel, we can’t heal.
And yet I know a big part of why my mom couldn’t reassociate her perpetrator aspects was because she couldn’t bear to realize what she, cult-controlled, had been made to do. I have forgiven her for this, and my heart feels deep love for her.
***Even as I learned recently that she might not even have been my biological mother! 🫣
As more and more of these horrific cult-related crimes are uncovered and their extreme criminal perpetrator groups are discovered, we must arrest those guilty immediately to protect children. If our criminal justice system is riddled with corruption and injustice, as I believe to be the case in this part of Utah, we must dismantle and replace them.
Then we as a good society are going to have to figure out which are the hardened criminals and which are the subordinate compliant slaves. Goel advocates for the death penalty for anyone proven guilty of rape of a child, and on some days, I agree. On other days I want to buy a beautiful place like the one I saw below and put down roots to create an in-person treatment center, and call it SOAAR Global Community Services, where we can offer OEA-informed rehabilitation to those who are not complete psychopaths. To those who actually have a shot at recovery…and redemption.
So how will we tell who is worthy of rehabilitation, and when we should “lock ‘em up and throw away the key?”
One thing I know is it will have to be a multidimensional assessment. However we define it, it will have to include a loving, functional, metaphysical component.
To that end, I reached out to an advanced psychic/remote viewer I know from across the globe, one who was torture-trained like me as a child to have extraordinary abilities, but has broken free to use her gifts for the light. I asked for her long distance read on Chelom Leavitt. I had not sent an image, but here was her impression:
I see a black witch, black clothing, with dark, reddish hair. She is deeply compartmentalized (dissociative). She is still a threat; she has not said NO to the Death Cult. She is vulnerable…she can be (mind) controlled with the snap of a finger…or the slap of her face. She is a battered woman, and she is unsafe.
Though I feel compassion for Chelom Leavitt, and would wish to help anyone still stuck in the horrors of Organized Extreme Abuse get out, I must not let toxic over-empathy be a false light excuse to not be brave, to not show up and ask the hard questions and ignore the deepest truths in favor of my comfort. If she is guilty, she must be stopped, and she must be held accountable. Because the children are still out there, enslaved and suffering, every moment. They are being raped and tortured while we do whatever we do, or don’t do, about it.

Thank you Anastasia for staying for the conference and being brave enough to talk to Chelom. Also, for your feed back and impressions.
Was only yesterday I was reading William Schnoebelen's "Mormonism's Temple of Doom," and now this.
The SRA coverup in Utah goes back to at least 1991, when Schnoebelen's revelations forced their hand. They're still covering up their horrors to this very day.
Keep up the bravery, you will need it to face an evil such as this.
