Four women who say the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office mishandled their sexual assault reports have a new avenue to seek the justice they believe they deserve. And they plan to take it.
In light of a new law approved this year, the women will drop their unique request before the Utah Supreme Court in favor of seeking a second review of potential criminal charges by prosecutors with the Utah Attorney General’s Office.
The announcement that the women will now seek a review with the AG’s office came on Utah’s 4th annual Start by Believing Day — a day aimed to change the way society responds to sexual assault.
