When 73% of assaults were not even being referred to our office, that’s dangerous for the community and more importantly to victims. That has to change. Backlogs had to be eliminated. It’s an improvement. We have more to do. But every new hire is now looked at for what skills and experience they can bring to sexual assault prosecution.” says Leavitt. [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=Did we get rid of SVU?

The residents of this county should have access to factual information. Our office posted updated statistical information and guiding principles about sexual assault prosecution. Posted on the Utah County Attorney's website on the main page. (ucao.utahcounty.gov)Did the Utah County Attorney’s office terminate SVU? No. Under the old system, a small team of attorneys carried a 400+ case backlog, many from prior years. Because the case backlog was not being resolved, we adopted an “all hands on deck” approach to screen and charge cases.

Upon further reflection, I am convinced that its costs far outweigh its benefits to the community as a whole. font_container=tag:h2|font_size:18|text_align:left|color:%23cec8c6|line_height:1.2 google_fonts=font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal css_animation=fadeInLeft][gt3_button button_title=Read more button_size=large button_alignment=center btn_icon_type=font btn_icon_fontawesome=fa fa-arrow-circle-right btn_font_size=14 css_animation=fadeInLeft use_theme_button= btn_bg_color=#9ca8c5 btn_text_colo
