Alleged crime: 
Was 
Jacob Fisher (Jake Fisher) was a Mormon church member and ward young men’s leader in Eagle Mountain, Utah.
Fisher was arrested in August 2025 for allegedly sending explicit videos of himself to, and attempting to meet to sexually assault, a person he thought was a 13-year-old girl (but was actually an undercover police detective).
Floodlit has obtained a copy of the probable cause affidavit in Fisher’s case, thanks to your donations.
During online conversations with the undercover officer, Fisher “encouraged the 13 year old UC to skip school and meet him at an LDS church of his choosing,” the affidavit said.
As part of a request for no bail included in the PC statement, the detective wrote that “Jacob admitted post Miranda that he was having sexually explicit conversations with 2 other children (one verified as an undercover investigator).”
The statement said that “during the chat conversation Jacob advised that he wanted to ‘[****]’ his [relative’s] friend and made comments about her breast size. Post Miranda Jacob advised that his [relative’s] friend was 15-16 years old. Because this is Jacob’s [relative’s] friend he likely has access to her or knows how[.]”
(Note: A four-letter [****] expletive in the preceding quote was redacted with asterisks here by Floodlit, but was written out explicitly in the statement.)
Fisher “holds a church calling working with the youth in his ward, specifically the young men,” the affidavit said. “Though Jacob works with the young men there are often combined activities with the young women who are in the age range Jacob has shown to be attracted to. If released Jacob will have access to these children while in a church setting.”
Sept. 4, 2025: Jacob Fisher released on bail
At a waiver hearing on Sept. 4, 2025, Fisher was ordered to be released from custody on his own recognizance with the following conditions:
“The defendant is to appear in person for all future hearings.
The defendant is ordered to keep contact information current with the court and counsel.
The defendant is to have no internet usage or access to internet.
The defendant is ordered to be supervised by Crossroads so they can monitor that there is no internet being used by the defendant.
The defendant is to have a GPS with geo fencing installed by Crossroads. He is only allowed to be at home and at work. The GPS is to be installed before he leaves the jail.”
Floodlit obtained a copy of the waiver hearing minutes thanks to your donations.
