During the investigation, detectives found that one of the operators of the Lehi Farmers Market is Larry Neff Jarvis, 74, who is a registered sex offender on the Utah Sex Offender Registry, the sheriff's office said.In a Facetime call with KUTV, Jarvis apologized to the community.
"I've been on this for 30 years and no other offenses. I'm trying to improve myself and be helpful to others. I really am sorry that I offended everyone and apologize for any kind of fear or undue concern that I caused them, especially for my sweet wife, and other people I know and worked with," Jarvis said."If they have concerns, I understand because there is such a stigma attached to the word sex offender.
"There have been no new offenses or anything like that. Never had I intended to conceal or hide anything. I'll do whatever is necessary to make things right," he added., the Lehi Farmers Market said,"We are looking into all concerns and working closely with law enforcement to ensure that our farm is a safe, family friendly place to visit."
"We wanted to have a place where familes could come and share in the experience of what farm life is like. Lehi is a growing city, as part of our goal we wanted families to feel a little bit of that old Lehi. This is a very difficult time. We are following the guidance of Law Enforcement and will tirelessly work until we have addressed every concern."and on Twitter @asabes10.
