Austin Cox was Utah Governor Spencer Cox’s (no relation) campaign manager in 2020. In 2021, a woman came forward alleging sexual misconduct on his part. Gov. Cox put him on leave and hired investigators who substantiated her claim. They also found other examples of his misconduct, described as hostil conduct, and he would have been fired, but resigned first. Cox denied the claim and suggested that it was made in spite after a consensual relationship ended.
