LOGAN — A 36-year-old Smithfield woman faces felony charges after police say a 29-minute video retrieved from a cloud account contradicted her claim that she was sexually assaulted while she slept.
Cami Lynn Saint is charged with second-degree felony obstruction of justice and a class A misdemeanor for providing a false statement at a preliminary examination.
According to an affidavit of probable cause, the case began Oct. 9, 2025. The Smithfield City Police Department initially received a report, which was transferred to the Logan City Police Department once investigators determined the alleged offense occurred in Logan.
Saint reportedly told responding officers she had found a video on the alleged suspect’s phone that showed her being sexually assaulted while sleeping. She told police she used her own phone to record a portion of the video from the other person’s secure folder before the screen locked.
During an interview with a Logan detective on Dec. 31, 2025, Saint was explicitly advised that the conversation was being recorded, could be used in court, and that she needed to tell only the truth. Following the interview, Saint provided a written statement, signed Jan. 2, 2026, reiterating she was asleep during the depicted encounter.
Investigators executed multiple search warrants on the accused person’s devices but could not locate the full video. However, a warrant served on two Google accounts linked to the phone’s Google Photos uncovered a video spanning 29 minutes and 10 seconds.
Police report the complete video told a markedly different story, according to the probable cause statement. Instead of showing the accused initiating contact with a sleeping Saint, the video showed the individual waking her prior to the encounter. The documents state Saint’s body movements and verbal responses indicated she was awake and actively engaged.
When investigators showed Saint the full video on April 9, 2026, she acknowledged she had not seen the entire recording and claimed she remembered the events incorrectly. She told detectives she believed she had been asleep on her stomach when the encounter began.
Investigators determined the partial video Saint submitted captured only the latter part of the encounter, where her stillness could be interpreted as evidence she was asleep. The Cache County Attorney’s Office concluded Saint provided the partial recording and written statement to make it appear a first-degree felony rape had occurred, elevating her obstruction charge to a second-degree felony.
Because domestic violence cases in Utah require officers to make an arrest, prosecutors noted the accused individual would likely have faced a rape charge had the complete video not been found. The accused has not yet participated in an interview with Logan police, having sought legal counsel after initially being investigated for a crime.
According to court records, Saint currently out of jail and is scheduled to make an initial appearance May 11 in Logan’s 1st District Court. She could face up to 15 years in prison if convicted.
Individuals arrested and charged in complaints are presumed innocent unless or until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in court.
