ST. GEORGE — A woman charged last month with sexual battery after she allegedly tugged on another woman’s skirt at a restaurant in St. George has been fired from the Utah Attorney General’s Office, newly released documents show.
Part of the incident at a crowded restaurant was captured on video and shared on social media, where it went viral. The video shows a woman apparently confronting someone and saying, “I happen to work for the state,” while displaying what appears to be an ID badge and threatening to call child protective services.
During the 36-second video, the friends of the woman wearing the skirt can be heard saying she’s 19 years old and, “You do not get to touch her.”
Police say Ida Lorenzo, 48, of Santa Clara, later called 911 to report harassment in connection to the previous night at the restaurant and the video shared on social media. Lorenzo was later charged in 5th District Court on April 25 with sexual battery, a class A misdemeanor.
