Four women who say the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office mishandled their sexual assault reports are asking the Utah Supreme Court to take a step that has never been done before: They want the justices to assign a special prosecutor to bring their cases to court.
One woman was 17 years old when she says another student sexually assaulted her while they worked on a school project. Another says she was abused by a former coworker. A third says the former Provo police chief raped her. And the fourth reported she was assaulted by a massage therapist.
