Resolution Admonishing and Censuring Judge Don M. Torgerson

Summary

Torgerson for comments made during a sentencing hearing that appeared to downplay the seriousness of child sexual exploitation and to consider the defendant’s privileged background as a factor for a lighter sentence. It also criticizes the Utah State Courts for issuing an inaccurate statement defending the judge’s remarks. The measure underscores the House’s commitment to protecting child victims and preserving public confidence in the judiciary.
