Karen from Utah was arrested after arguing with a teenager at a restaurant about her miniskirt

Nationwide — Ida Lorenzo, a 49-year-old former legal secretary from St. George, Utah, was arrested for taking matters into her own hands at a local Sakura Japanese Steakhouse. Lorenzo was filmed harassing a 19-year-old girl because her miniskirt was so short, and at one point even pulled down her skirt, and was later charged with sexual assault.

However, it was not until July 30 that Lorenzo pleaded no contest to a lesser charge of a Class B misdemeanor, according to Daily MailThe charge was “knowingly and intentionally touching the buttocks of another person in circumstances which she should have known would cause offence or alarm.”

As part of her plea agreement, Lorenzo will not face immediate jail time if she meets the conditions. She must avoid contact with the victim and stay out of trouble for a year. If she meets those conditions, the charges could be dropped. However, if she fails to comply with the agreement, she could face up to 180 days in jail.

The incident gained attention after a TikTok video showed Lorenzo pulling down the teen’s skirt and displaying a badge. She claimed her government service justified her actions. Lorenzo told the victim that if her skirt remained up, she would call child services. The victim’s friends intervened and told Lorenzo not to touch her.

Lorenzo reported the incident to police herself, claiming she acted because the skirt was too high and children were present. She later made another 911 call, stating that her life was in danger due to her work with the state. Nevertheless, she was arrested after witnesses confirmed the teenager’s account of the incident.

Following her arrest, Lorenzo was fired from her position in the Attorney General’s Office. She later set up a GoFundMe campaign, which has since been deactivated, citing financial difficulties and the need to support her two sons.
