State Supreme Court limits 1994 predator act use in Ingram case
The Utah Supreme Court ruled Friday that prosecutors cannot confine a rapist for treatment under the 1994 Violent Sexual Predator Act when they filed their petition 88 days after department notification of release. Emery Joe Ingram, convicted of two rapes in Johnson and Wyandotte counties in 1982, was released in February 1997, and the court emphasized the statute’s clear timing requirements.
