Large Number of Child Porn Cases in Utah

7-24-2013 Utah:

Utah’s chief child porn prosecutor says Utah has more child pornography cases and convictions than most other states.

“Per capita, we are in the top two or three states in charges and resolutions,” says Craig Barlow of Utah’s approximately 300 cases each year.

He’s not sure whether Utahns look at more child porn than other Americans, but he says Utah has strong laws and a task force that pursues violators aggressively.

Most people charged with crimes involving child pornography in Utah take a plea agreement. Though most first offenders serve less than six month jail time, defense attorney Kent Morgan points out that any person convicted of these crimes is on the sex-offender registry for life. ..Video and Source.. by KUTV.com
