The Utah Attorney General’s Office is asking for state charges against a Davis County general contracting company accused of labor trafficking to be dismissed because of a pending federal investigation.
“The Civil Rights Division-Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit of the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security’s Center for Counter Human Trafficking has initiated a federal investigation into the matter. The state of Utah now defers to the Department of Justice and its pending investigation and moves to dismiss the pending state litigation without prejudice,” according to the motion filed Tuesday in 2nd District Court.
As of Wednesday, no federal charges had been filed against Rubicon Contracting LLC. Attorneys for Rudy Larsen, the founder and owner of Rubicon, and his wife Jena Larsen, say they expect to file a response to the motion by the end of the week.
