I read a disturbing story in The Salt Lake Tribune recently about four cases of sexual assault that the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s office declined to prosecute. The attorney for the victims is now asking that the Utah Supreme Court assign a new attorney to prosecute the cases.
While I am in no position to comment on the particular cases, I’ve been a life-long advocate for victims of violence and sexual assault and can confidently comment on Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill. I can attest to his commitment to supporting victims of domestic and sexual violence to ensure their voices are heard in the system, that they are given the support and resources and, most importantly, that they can find justice in our justice system.
