Jeffrey Zaugg was allegedly a Mormon church member in Utah; was raised in the Mormon church; convicted in 1995 of first-degree felony sodomy on a child; was sentenced to 10 years to life in prison; as of 2025, was out on parole (Utah offender #73345).

Jeffrey Zaugg was allegedly a Mormon church member in Utah. He was raised in the Mormon church.

In 1995, Zaugg was convicted in Utah of first-degree felony sodomy on a child.

Zaugg was sentenced to 10 years to life in prison.

As of 2025, Zaugg was out on parole (Utah offender #73345), living in Roy, Utah as a registered sex offender.

Jeffrey Zaugg is a brother of Scott Zaugg and a second cousin (sharing the same paternal great-grandfather) of Laron Zaugg. FLOODLIT has not found a relation between these men and Krew Zaugg.

FLOODLIT is trying to find out whether Zaugg was active in the LDS church when he offended.
