Josh CantuFormer AWP diver Both members stressed they were not permitted to divulge any information about the allegations against Leisek. The alleged incidents happened in the victim's bedroom and in their family member's house in Utah, according to court documents, which contain explicit details. The criminal charges against Leisek were filed Friday in Sanpete County Court in Utah. It is unclear whether the rest of Adventures With Purpose group will continue. The Oregon-based volunteer dive group gained national attention after they located the body of missing teen Kiely Rodni. AWP made headlines after finding Rodni...s remains following a frantic search for the teen, who mysteriously vanished in August after a wild party in the woods near a campsite in Truckee, California. Initial law enforcement searches missed Rodni's car and body in the water before they were ultimately found by AWP. Leisek started the group in 2019, but it's unclear if he's still actively involved. Social media users began questioning where Leisek was in September after he wasn't seen during the group's major breakthrough in Rodni's case. Since 2019, AWP has helped solve at least 23 missing person cases, some involving children, which they documented on their successful YouTube channel. Read More on The US Sun
