Operator of "Clean Flix" Store Arrested for Statutory Rape
The operator of the Utah-based Flix Club, which, as part of the Clean Flix chain, drew fire from major studios for removing scenes depicting sex and violence from home videos, has been arrested in Orem, Utah on charges of having sex with underaged girls. According to Orem police, Daniel Thompson also told the girls that his business was actually a cover for a pornography studio and asked them to participate in making a porn movie. The police report also said that they uncovered a "large quantity" of pornography at Thompson's business. According to the Salt Lake Tribune, Thompson told the arresting officers that he was unaware that the girls were not of legal age and that the porn movies were for his "personal use." Thompson previously operated the Clean Flix franchise in Orem but shut it down last month after giving away 400 sanitized versions of Disney 's Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. The studios, he said at the time, had told him that "if I don't shut down, they would break me."

Let me just say as someone who grew up in Utah (ugh)... totally not surprised.
Orem is about 40 miles south of Salt Lake City and is situated right next to Provo and Brigham Young University. It is in the most Republican county in the United States and is considered very LDS, even by Utah's standards.
That said, Orem (from a report that's a few years old) has the highest per capita rates of subscriptions to Playboy magazine of any city in the country. Not particularly a good Mormon magazine (wholesome as it is).
Sure, this proves nothing, but it does illustrate that people in this area are sexually repressed and are finding ways to counter it in the privacy of their own homes or businesses.
My guess is that the guys started this clean movie business so they'd be justified in going through every Hollywood movie to watch all of the dirty scenes.
excellent point, sir!
We're actually having to close Kay 'N Dave's because it's a front for my porn empire...
