WEST BOUNTIFUL — Criminal charges were filed against a West Bountiful aspiring politician Wednesday accusing him of trying to sexually abuse a child.
Brady John Tracy, 37, was charged in 2nd District Court with three counts of attempted aggravated sexual abuse of a child, a first-degree felony, and a warrant was issued for his arrest Wednesday.
Tracy is accused of inappropriately touching a child on two separate occasions between April and November of 2023 and on another occasion exposed himself to the child and asked her to touch him, according to charging documents.
Tracy ran for the District 8 seat of the Utah Senate but lost in the Republican convention in April. He also ran unsuccessfully for the Utah State Board of Education District 4 in June 2022, losing out in the Republican convention.
In the 2019 West Bountiful City Council election, Tracy was eliminated after failing to file his required candidate financial disclosure report by the deadline. Before that, Tracy was defeated in the Constitution convention in 2014 when he participated in the race for Utah House of Representatives District 20.
