ST. GEORGE, Utah (AP) — The Utah State Bar has filed an ethics complaint against a St. George defense attorney accused of having a sexual relationship with a client during a kidnapping and assault case.
Aric Cramer is accused of unprofessional conduct while representing Haylee Cheek in a case that resulted in her July 2010 conviction on various charges including aggravated kidnapping, aggravated robbery and aggravated assault.
The Spectrum of St. George reports (http://bit.ly/1DOb1c6 ) she is serving a sentence of seven years to life in the Utah State Prison.
The year after Cheek's conviction, a judge heard a motion for a new trial in the case. Cramer at that time testified he did not engage in a sexual relationship with his client during a trip to Las Vegas or at other times.
