Utah Laws Protecting Children
Utah has two laws to assist in protecting children so they might grow “into free and independent well-developed men and citizens,” explained by the Utah Attorney General:
Dealing in Material Harmful to a Minor makes it illegal for a person to show or give a minor anything that contains nudity or sexual conduct that for minors, when taken as a whole, appeals to a prurient interest in sex; Is patently offensive according to prevailing standards in the adult community with respect as to what is suitable material for minors; and does not have serious value for minors.
Indecent Public Display makes it illegal to display any material in any place where a person under 18 years of age has a right to be:
If the material contains nudity, partial nudity or sexual acts; and It has no value for a minor. Nudity or partially denuded means less than completely and opaquely covered (you can see through the covering) human genitals; pubic regions; buttock; and female breast below a point immediately above the top of the areola; and human male genitals in a discernibly turgid state, even if completely and opaquely covered (you can’t see through the covering).
