A 49-year-old woman from Santa Clara, Utah, signed a plea deal after allegedly pulling down a teenager’s miniskirt in a restaurant.
Court documents said Ida Ann Lorenzo pleaded “no contest” to one misdemeanor count of sexual battery regarding the incident, KTVX reported Thursday.

Per the agreement, the woman will be held in abeyance for one year and the case will be dismissed as long as she complies with the terms that include not doing anything illegal, not contacting the victim, and undergoing a mental health evaluation.
During the exchange at the restaurant, Lorenzo threatened to call Child Protective Services (CPS), and she later contacted law enforcement about online harassment once video footage of the incident went viral.
In a video posted after the incident, the teenager showed the outfit and told viewers she was wearing shorts underneath the white miniskirt, according to Inside Edition:
Lorenzo claimed, “It’s protecting the kid by covering their private parts,” however, the policeman she was speaking to said, “Correct, but that’s not your job to do.”
Lorenzo has since lost her job with the Utah Attorney General’s Office where she worked for a short time as a legal consultant, according to the KTVX report.
