A woman in Utah who was dubbed a “Karen” after video of her losing it over a young woman wearing a miniskirt went viral has been charged with sexual battery in connection with the incident.

Ida Ann Lorenzo, 48, allegedly pulled down the woman’s mini skirt as she complained that it was too small and threatened to call child protective services.

In a video with over 3 million views on TikTok, Lorenzo was filmed defending her decision to pull down the skirt, moments after the encounter in the lobby of the Sakura Japanese Steakhouse in St. George, Utah.

“I happen to work for the state and if I have to watch your ass cheeks hanging out again, I will call CPS,” Lorenzo said. According to the caption of the TikTok, the veritable “Karen” “aggressively” grabbed the skirt before yanking it down, and commented that the girl was probably underage.

Several young women jumped to their friend’s defense. “She’s over 18,” one said, and the woman filming confirmed that she was 19 years old.

“You do not get to touch her,” said another one of the women. “Really?” Lorenzo asks incredulously. Lorenzo then whispered something inaudible, before saying, “No, it’s not appropriate.”

On Sunday, Lorenzo reported the incident to police herself, saying that the response to the viral video where she declared she was a state employee was a “threat on her life,” according to the police report. Lorenzo told the officers that the young woman had her skirt “hiked above her vagina and butt,” exposing her pubic hair.

On Monday, the 19 year-old called the police, saying she’d been sexually assaulted, and she’d felt “startled” and “violated” by the incident. Several witnesses also filed reports about the incident. The young woman also provided police with the skirt she had been wearing, and explained that it would have been impossible for anyone to see her pubic hair because she was wearing underwear.

According to the police report, Lorenzo claimed that she thought the girl wasn’t wearing underwear, and police informed her that even if that had been true, it would still be sexual battery. Lorenzo also claimed she did not touch the girl’s skin, but the officers explained that it still qualified as criminal behavior. Police charged her with one count of sexual battery.

Ida Ann Lorenzo aka Utah Karen charged with sexual abuse after yanking 19 year old teen girl’s skirt after complaining it was too short.

Ida Ann Lorenzo aka Utah Karen charged with sexual abuse after yanking 19 year old teen’s skirt after complaining it was too short during St George restaurant outing. Stated she felt threatened. ​

A Utah woman has been charged with sexual battery after she was captured on viral video pulling down a 19 year old teenager’s skirt at a steakhouse after complaining the dress was too short.

Ida Ann Lorenzo, 48, who self identifies herself as a state employee in justifying her actions is seen in a viral TikTok video threatening to call cops on the 19 year old teen, on account of her wearing a min-dress that Utah Karen (term used to describe privileged white women) deemed to short to be worn in public.

In the video, Utah Karen tells the alleged victim that if she has to watch her ‘a** cheeks hanging out again’ and see her pubic hair, she would call Child Protective Services.

‘a** cheeks hanging out again’​

Moments later Lorenzo is seen yanking the teen’s skirt. In the background, the alleged victim’s friends are heard defending the teen, telling Lorenzo she should not touch her and that she is over 18.

TikTok video shared by a witness, CC Snow (see directly below) recounted the dizzy episode which allegedly took place Saturday night at the Sakura Japanese Steakhouse, in St George ABC4 reported.

Recalled the witness, ‘She comes up to my friend and reaches under her skirt, yanks it down and then squeezes her sides, because she is wearing a crop top, and says “you’re probably under age, you probably shouldn’t be wearing that.”

The moral panic police​

According to Snow, the restaurant manager asked Lorenzo to sit down during the filmed altercation with the group of teenagers. But it was not to be.

The un-identified 19 year old teen on Monday filed a ‘sexual abuse’ complaint with police stating that she felt ‘violated’ after Lorenzo allegedly touching her buttocks and pulling down her skirt.

Lorenzo following her arrest told police that she intended to file an indecent exposure report. Lorenzo claimed that she believed the individual wearing the short dress to be that of a child.

According to a statement of probable cause, Lorenzo reported the incident herself the night it happened, telling dispatch that the teenager had her skirt ‘hiked above her vagina and butt,’ exposing her pubic hair. Because restaurant staff and parents didn’t act, Lorenzo said she took it upon herself to pull the teen’s skirt down, as young children were present. And of course Utah Karen is the action police who knows best…

‘A threat on my life…’ ​

Later that night Utah Karen called 911 again, ( loss of sleep etc etc) this time saying that a video of the aftermath was posted online, along with her name, which insinuated that she’d committed a crime that was sexual in nature. Lorenzo explained that because she holds a position with the state, she felt this was a ‘threat on her life,’ and had been compelled to act, the police report states.

‘Please universe, I feel threatened. My moral virtues are being impinged. Who are you? What do you want from me? Don’t you know who I am? Pull your dress down immediately. Because I said so, ho!’

Asked by police why Lorenzo thought it was appropriate to touch another person, Utah Karen responded that she only touched the girl’s skirt. To this, the officer said that such an act was still criminal behavior and inappropriate.

Lorenzo, who works for Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes, was booked into the Purgatory Correctional Facility in Hurricane on a single Class A charge of sexual battery, according to court documents filed on Wednesday. She has now been released. And the world has now nearly returned to normal …
