SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The Utah Supreme Court has ruled that a judge erred when dismissing a child sex abuse case more than two years ago. The Salt Lake Tribune reports the court ruled Monday to reverse the dismissal of 10 first-degree felony charges against a now-41-year-old man. Court records show the alleged victim was 21 years old when she testified in 2012 that her mother's ex-boyfriend sexually abused her from 2002 to 2006. The decision sends the case back to district court.
