What are Sex Crimes in Utah?

Strict definitions are a key part of Utah’s legal system and those definitions don’t always line up with what you might think. Here’s a quick summary of the more common sex crimes:

• Sexual Acts Without Consent:

  If the victim of a sexual act did not expressly consent to the act, regardless of the reason why, then the sexual act is considered a sexual offense. Learn More

• Rape:

  Having sexual intercourse when the victim has either denied consent or is incapable of consenting, regardless of whether the person is your married spouse, counts as rape under Utah law. Learn More

• Aggravated Sexual Assault:

  Aggravated sexual assault is a secondary charge that is added to any attempted or actual forcible penetration or sexual abuse of a victim which involved violence, dangerous weapons, threats, or more than one person as the perpetrator. Learn More

• Forcible Sex Abuse:

  Any “indecent liberties” (touching genitals or buttocks, for example) the defendant committed or that the defendant caused to be committed. Learn More

• Child Rape:

  In Utah, this means any sexual interaction with a person under the age of 18. Learn More

• Enticing a Minor:

  Even if the person under the age of 18 participates willingly in a sexual act, it’s still illegal. Learn More (Classified under subsection 2; )

• Sexual Solicitation:

  Any offer of compensation (cash or otherwise) in return for sexual services, even if the offer isn’t made to the person performing the sexual act, is considered prostitution. Learn More

• Sex Offender Registry Issues:

  Any failure to register, whether total or partial, is grounds for jail time, probation, and an extended stint on the sex offender registry. Learn More
