Robert Lant (1970 – ) was a Mormon church member in Utah County, Utah; convicted in 2018 and again in 2023 of crimes related to child sexual abuse; as of January 2026, is the defendant in an ongoing civil lawsuit.

Robert Tanner Lant was a Mormon church member in Utah who was convicted twice (in two separate cases) of crimes related to child sexual abuse. As of January 16, 2026, Lant is currently scheduled for release on parole from prison on April 21, 2026.

Lant’s criminal convictions occurred in 2018 and 2023.

The 2018 conviction was for a felony related to child sexual abuse. The alleged abuse in that case took place in 2012, when the victim was 11 years old.

The 2023 conviction was for forcible sexual abuse, and it involved one or more incidents that allegedly occurred when the victim was an 18-year-old adult.  However, in the 2025 ongoing civil lawsuit against Lant, the plaintiff, who was the victim in Lant’s 2023 criminal case, clarified that she was alleging that Lant sexually abused her when she was a minor as well as when she was an adult.

In addition, according to notable women’s rights attorney, Gloria Allred, who represented the victim in the 2018 case, another alleged victim was prepared to testify that Lant sexually abused her in 1987, when she was approximately eight years old.

Robert Tanner Lant: Criminal Charges and case disposition information

In 2018, Lant was convicted of one third-degree felony count of attempted aggravated child sexual abuse. The original charge was a first-degree felony count which omitted the word “attempted;” Lant was able to get the charge reduced via a plea agreement. A prison sentence of up to five years was suspended, and Lant was sentenced to 90 days in jail, plus 36 months of probation.

According to someone familiar with this case, Lant only served 60 days in jail.

In 2023, Lant was convicted again, this time on one third-degree felony count of attempted forcible sexual abuse and one possession of a dangerous weapon by restricted a second-degree felony, which he pleaded down from a total of seven original charges. He was sentenced to one to 15 years in the Utah State Prison for each conviction; both ran concurrently.

The original charges were two counts of attempted forcible sexual abuse and five charges of possession of a dangerous weapon by restricted (a second-degree felony).

As of Dec. 10, 2025, Lant was incarcerated in the Davis County Jail in Utah, with a parole release date of April 21, 2026 (offender #236365), according to the Utah Department of Corrections.

The docket information for each case is below in the sources section.

Robby Lant: Additional case background information

Floodlit communicated with multiple individuals who knew Lant. We learned that there is more than meets the eye in this case.

Notable women’s rights attorney and activist Gloria Allred’s presence in 2018 helps to underscore the significance of Lant’s case.

Lant’s parents were both notable members of the Latter-day Saints church. Lant’s mother, Cheryl Clark Lant, was the Primary General President from 2005 to 2010, overseeing the teaching and activities program for LDS children from ages 3 to 11. (The “ch” in Cheryl’s name is pronounced like the “ch” in Charles.) Prior to that, Cheryl Lant was a member of the Primary General Board from approximately 2000 to 2005.

Lant’s father, John Lant, was a Mormon bishop, stake president (ca. 2008 to 2017, Orem Utah YSA 2nd Stake) and Brigham Young University professor of religion. He was also a key member of BYU’s fundraising team.

Professionally, the Lants co-founded and co-owned Learning Dynamics Academic Preschool. Cheryl Lant also co-founded and developed Frontline Phonics, a beginning reading program. The Lants own five academic preschools in Utah and Arizona as of December 2025, a person familiar with the family told Floodlit.

Robby marketed his parents’ reading program to kindergarten and elementary schools across the United States, the source said. At one point, Lant sold a perpetual license to the State of Texas Education Dept for $10 million, according to the source.

The Lant family’s deep, longstanding connection to children in religious and professional circles is important in this case because Robby Lant allegedly sexually abused two young girls, ages approximately 7 and 9, when he was about 17 years old. One of those girls was prepared to testify in Robby Lant’s 2018 criminal case. As attorney Gloria Allred stated:

“The state intends to introduce at trial includes allegations made by J.A. […] J.A. alleges that when she was approximately 8 years old, defendant entered her bedroom in the evening after she had gone to bed and began to scratch her back. Defendant eventually slipped his hand under J.A.’s clothes and touched both her breasts and vagina. The alleged abuse occurred in 1987.”

According to a person who knew Lant personally, Lant’s parents did not report the alleged child sexual abuse in the 1980s to police or LDS church authorities, but instead kept it a secret, and pressured other individuals with knowledge of the alleged abuse to keep it secret. As a result, the victims in both of Lant’s criminal cases (2018 and 2023 convictions) were allegedly unaware, as were their parents, of Lant’s alleged past as a child sexual abuser.

At a press release announcement held immediately following Lant’s sentencing, Gloria Allred made a presentation, and the victim read a prepared statement in which she called out Robby Lant and Lant’s parents for failing to protect her innocence.

Floodlit has included the full text of the victim’s statement below in the sources section of this case report. Here is a partial quote:

“It has pained me to see the entire process of this case. It has pained me to see that a sexual predator is able to “monitored” by the same people that didn’t believe their own daughters when they came to them about Robert almost 30 years ago. The people who didn’t believe them and forbid them to secrecy and did not provide an ounce of support, or help to this situation. In both the victims place AND the predators place. The supervisors are the same people that didn’t allow the victims to tell my mother about her future husbands past before they got married. These supervisors, who are Roberts parents, are the same people that have gone out of their way to tell my neighbors, ward members, and several other people that my mother is a liar, that we are seeking attention, and that everything is untrue.”

According to a person who attended the Apr. 5, 2018 sentencing and press conference, KSL, KUTV and FOX 13 all had cameramen present, and KUTV and FOX 13 covered the story in news broadcasts that evening, but neither KUTV and FOX 13 of the news outlets mentioned that Robby Lant was the son of the former LDS General Primary President and KSL didn’t air the story at all.

Floodlit has obtained a copy of a 2017 victim statement by J.A., and a report of an interview with J.A. by a police officer with the Logan Police Department. J.A. described sexual abuse by Lant that “was ongoing for a long period of time.”

According to police, J.A. stated that “her father gathered them together and had told them to repent.” In context, it appears that “them” refers to J.A (victim) and Robert (alleged perpetrator).

J.A. also told police that when Lant was preparing to go on an LDS mission a few days later, he went to his LDS bishop and then “told her they shouldn’t do those things anymore.”

2025: Ongoing civil lawsuit against Robby, while he is in prison

The 2023 criminal case victim is in an ongoing civil lawsuit against Lant.  The victim is suing Lant for $13 million.  In the lawsuit, the victim describes grooming behavior by Lant and mentions Lant’s 2018 criminal conviction of charges related to child sexual abuse.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints is mentioned in the lawsuit, although it is not a defendant in the case.  Because Lant was an active member of the LDS church at the time of his criminal behavior, the plaintiff’s lawsuit requests that Lant:

“Describe in detail any discipline or disciplinary investigation undertaken by or on behalf of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints related to allegations that you engaged in sexual misconduct or criminal behavior.”

source: 2024 civil complaint, Case No.: 240402567, p.28

As of January 2026, this lawsuit is proceeding through pre-trial motions.

Floodlit has obtained copies of statements by the plaintiff in the civil lawsuit in which the plaintiff alleges that Lant sexually abused them in November 2021 (when they were a minor) and in January 2023 (when they were 18 years old). The plaintiff said Lant’s alleged abuse in 2021 “made me feel like I was nothing.” They stated of the alleged 2023 abuse that Lant abused them for about three and a half hours on one occasion, and that the following occurred once Lant was done:

“He said, ‘Good night’ and walked [away]. Just like that. Like nothing just happened the last 3 hours and 24 minutes. I grabbed my phone, the time said 2:24am. Those numbers engraved into my brain. I jogged […] and quickly locked my door, not knowing if he would still follow me. Too violated, in shock, and sick. I played my brown noise, placed a piece of tape on both doors, locked them with a towel underneath the bottom, and turned on a nightlight, hoping it was all just a bad dream.”

Robert Tanner Lant: Timeline of alleged abuse and related events

1987: Robby Lant abuses J.A., according to allegations by J.A. detailed in a 2017 Logan Police Department report. J.A. is seven or eight years old at the time of the alleged abuse.

    Statement of Madison Munro

    First and foremost I would like to thank the judge for giving me the opportunity to share my voice, the voice that was taken from me for so long. I am grateful beyond words that you have given me the chance to reclaim my voice, publically.

    Today for the first time in my life Robert Lant will be unable to “mask” or hide the things that I say and the truth that I have shared. He will no longer be able to deny the truth through extensive lies in the way that he has for far too long. He will finally be unable to convince the people in my life that I am “attention seeking” and “lying”. MY silence ends today.

    Robert Lant, you thought that you could do the things that you did to me because you were superior to me, stronger than me, and in control of me. You thought you could threaten me or scare me from speaking up by the things you would say to me, and the way you would unspeakably treat both myself and my mother. Well, today I am stronger than you. Jenny, your sister, who you also sexual assaulted, and I have become a force and WE are stronger than you.

    As I look at the young children in my life I remember the little girl that I used to be. The light my eyes must have had before the innocence was taken. I watch them love and trust unreservedly and I remember the long road that it has been to let myself love and be loved without fear.

    I think of the scars that still remain for myself. I often think of the times I would stay up at night afraid you would arrive again, my Pajamas pants tied as tightly as possible because it was the only source of protection from you. My only source of protection from being molested by you again. I think of the times I would breakdown because of the things that you said to me and the ways you would threaten me, the fear that I consistently held in my heart as those scars were deeply engraved in me.

    I remember every word you said to me Robert. Everytime you called me a slut, a whore, and other unspeakable terms. I remember every time you told me I was worthless, going nowhere, that I was unloved, every time you got mad at me for telling my mom what you did to me, every time you blamed me for “ruining your marriage” and how great the family would be without me. I remember every time you placed the blame of your sickening pedephilic problems on me, I remember everything. You did everything you possibly could to keep me in control and keep me from speaking up and to get me to submit to your emotional and verbal abuse that you put me through after molesting me at 11 years old.

    I trusted you Robert Lant. I trusted you as my stepfather. I trusted you to love, guide, and support me through life. But I have many unanswered questions. Robert, how could you do that to an 11 year old child? How could you sexually assault a child? How could you make me believe that you wanted to be another parental figure to me when in reality you just viewed me as a sexual tool in your sick mind. I trusted you to wake me up in the mornings to go ride horses, not for you to wake me up by touching my prepubescent body in ways that a child should never be touched.

    I trusted you to be an extra parent to me, not force me to go by your last name and call you dad. I trusted you to help me be confident in myself and become the person I wanted to be, not call me a whore, a slut, or the other handful of names you would consistently call me growing up. I trusted you to build me up, but instead you ruined me. How could you possibly brush this problem under the rug? How could you deny the truth?

    It has pained me to see the entire process of this case. It has pained me to see that a sexual predator is able to “monitored” by the same people that didn’t believe their own daughters when they came to them about Robert almost 30 years ago. The people who didn’t believe them and forbid them to secrecy and did not provide an ounce of support, or help to this situation. In both the victims place AND the predators place. The supervisors are the same people that didn’t allow the victims to tell my mother about her future husbands past before they got married. These supervisors, who are Roberts parents, are the same people that have gone out of their way to tell my neighbors, ward members, and several other people that my mother is a liar, that we are seeking attention, and that everything is untrue.

    Cheryl and John, you like to tell others that my mom has been telling me what to say this entire case, so I must ask the question: Did she tell your daughters what to say? Whether the other victims are willing to speak up or not, the things that happened, happened and they have been admitted. The things that Robert does scars and damages people for life. Unfortunately, I have learned that through personal experience.

    The things that Robert Lant did to me will forever have an impact on my life. I will never not have horrific flashbacks, I will never not have excruciating anxiety, and I will forever hold painful insecurities in my mind that he caused. It is hard for me to believe that it is even somewhat okay for the parents of the abuser who could’ve, and should’ve done something about Roberts pediphilic problem years ago to be aloud to “supervise” his children, and most importantly his daughter as they are both in his target age group at this very moment.

    I do not believe that the people who have defended the pedophile over the victims and continue to do so are in any state to be supervising my siblings, or any child in that matter. These are the same individuals who run a preschool, and allow Robert to sell their program and interact with children all around the country. It’s scary to think who we are trusting with our children these days.

    I am willing speak up and use my voice and my story however I need to to make sure that no one, especially not my little sister, is victimized by Robert Lants inexcusable and despicable problem. The anxiety, the insecurity, and the depression from being molested is there and is real and will be with me for the rest of my entire life. Robert is a sexual predator. If something doesn’t change, before long another victim will arise. The cycle will continue just like it did to me because no action was taken and no punishment took place years ago. Another innocent child will go through the devastation and excruciating pain that I had to go through and continue to go through.

    There is no dollar amount, no rumor that you spread, or thing that you can do that will prevent the truth from eventually arising Robert. You have gotten away with ruining 3 innocent children. I will do anything and everything in my power to make sure that that number does not change and that your ability to get away with the sickening things you do, ends today.

    What you did Robert, deserves prison time and therefore that is what I am asking the court to impose. Robert deserves prison time because his behavior is not a one time “mistake” or “accident”. This is not his first offense and I am not his first victim and therefore he should not be given mercy. He has gotten away with creating two other victims other than myself, in which details are provided in the sisters police report. He continues to get away with his actions and that is why the cycle continued and will continue if proper action and punishment is not taken. This man needs the fullest punishment we can offer and in this situation that is prision. I believe that prison is the only thing that will stop Robert from doing the sickening things that he does.

    So, I ask, your honor, “how much is a little girl worth? How much priority should be placed on communicating that the fullest weight of the law will be used to protect another innocent child from the soul shattering devastation that sexual assault brings? Innocent children are worth every protection the law can offer, and worth the maximum sentence.”

    Thank you.

    Statement of Gloria Allred

    Today I have come to Provo, UT to attend the sentencing of Robert Tanner Lant. The prosecutor had charged Mr. Lant with aggravated sexual abuse of a child, a first degree felony. (Ann. Section 76-5-404.1)

    According to documents filed by the state of Utah the presumptive sentence for a conviction of this offense is 15 years to life. Imprisonment is mandatory. The charge was based on allegations made by the Deputy Utah County Attorney in charging documents in which it was alleged that the charge was based on allegations made by the defendant’s stepdaughter that “she was 11 years old when the defendant entered her bedroom early one morning while M.M. was sleeping, laid down next to her on her bed and began tickling her back under her clothes. Defendant then moved his hands around to M.M.’s front, touched her breast, and then her vagina.” The alleged abuse occurred in 2012.

    The document submitted by David Sturgill, Deputy Utah County Attorney also stated that “the evidence of other acts of child molestation, the state intends to introduce at trial includes allegations made by J.A., defendant’s sister. J.A. alleges that when she was approximately 8 years old, defendant entered her bedroom in the evening after she had gone to bed and began to scratch her back. Defendant eventually slipped his hand under J.A.’s clothes and touched both her breasts and vagina. The alleged abuse occurred in 1987.

    Despite the serious additional allegations the defendant has been permitted to enter a plea of guilty to attempted sexual abuse of a child (a third degree felony) and the prosecutor has agreed that the he will not ask that the defendant Robert Tanner Lant receive a prison sentence.

    Although the judge could still sentence the defendant to prison, the fact that the prosecutor has agreed not to ask for imprisonment is very upsetting to my client, the defendant’s victim.

    She feels that the allegations made by her and by the defendant’s sister to law enforcement are so serious that Mr. Lant should be sent to prison.

    Allegations of child sexual abuse even by one child should always be taken seriously, but when the allegations are made by more than one child and the defendant has entered a plea of guilty to felony conduct as to even one of them, such felony misconduct should be punished with a sentence that carries a term in prison.

    Punishment should fit the crime. Deterrence is an important goal of sentencing. If there is no significant punishment because there is no imprisonment imposed on a man convicted of a crime against a child, it sends a message that child sexual abuse does not matter.

    Most important, however, is that the message to a child is that the system will not take meaningful action against the perpetrator of a crime against you, even if you break out of your fear and report to law enforcement. M.M. (Madison) has been very brave in reporting the crime that she was forced to endure as a child and the victimization by her stepfather.
    It is time that the system begins to protect children rather than continuing to fail them, so that brave victims like M.M. know that anyone convicted of a felony against a child will receive appropriate punishment rather than a “get out of jail free card” for their criminal misconduct against a child.

  • 3. Provo man sentenced for attempted sexual abuse of his stepdaughter

    • News article
    • KUTV

    (KUTV) — Notable women's rights attorney Gloria Allred was in Provo on Thursday for a sentencing hearing on a sexual abuse case that took place in 2012.

    According to court documents, the victim was 11 years old when the assault happened. She is now an adult and took part in a press conference with Allred following the sentencing of the suspect, who was her stepfather at the time.

    Maddison Monroe, 18, claimed that Robert Lant touched her private parts when she was a child. He claims he was only trying to wake her in the mornings.

    Lant was sentenced in 4th District Court by Judge James R. Taylor to 90 days in jail in addition to three years of probation. Furthermore, he will be placed on the sex offender's list.

    Earlier, Lant made a plea deal and pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of attempted aggravated sexual abuse -- a third-degree felony.

    FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT - PROVO DISTRICT COURT
    UTAH COUNTY, STATE OF UTAH
    STATE OF UTAH vs. ROBERT TANNER LANT
    CASE NUMBER 151402527 State Felony
    CHARGES
    Charge 1 - 76-5-404.1(4) - ATTEMPTED - AGGRAVATED SEXUAL ABUSE OF A CHILD - 1st Degree Felony (amended to) - 3rd Degree Felony
    Offense Date: July 01, 2012
    Location: Utah County
    Plea: January 18, 2018 Guilty
    Disposition: January 18, 2018 Guilty

    HEARING:

    Special Findings for Judgment and Commitment: The facts as reported from the victim suggest more egregious conduct, which is what was originally charged in this case. The admission of guilt, however, which was a stipulated result is to a lesser course of conduct. But,although he attempts to now claim that the touching was unintentional, or an accident, at the time of the plea he acknowledged that the elements he was pleading guilty to included touching or taking indecent liberties with the intent to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of another or to cause substantial emotional harm to another. The fact she admitted were that he gave the victim a massage, that the touching was inappropriate and that the result was to cause the victim substantial emotional harm. The psycho-sexual evaluation provided by the defense indicates no deviancy, which is consistent with the defendant's assertion that the touching was in advertent with no intent to abuse a child. But, as already noted,that result is inconsistent with the admission of guilt at the time of his plea. The fact that he committed, by his own admission,this kind of crime and caused this result is sufficient to require that he abide by the sex offender conditions of probation and that he receive additional evaluation and therapy at the request of the department.

    SENTENCE PRISON
    Based on the defendant's conviction of ATTEMPTED AGGRAVATED SEXUAL ABUSE OF A CHILD a 3rd Degree Felony, the defendant is sentenced to an indeterminate term of not to exceed five years in the Utah State Prison.
    The prison term is suspended.
