Victim’s Rights
Protective Orders
- Criminal Protective Order – A criminal protective order may be requested by the prosecuting agency on the victim’s behalf at the first court hearing in a domestic violence case. The protective order is designed to shield the victim from unwanted contact with the defendant while the criminal case is pending.
- Civil Protective Order – A civil protective order is issued at the request of the victim if certain criteria are met.
- No Contact Order – As a condition of bail or release, the judge may order the defendant have no contact either direct or indirect with any victim or witness in the case. No contact orders are not enforceable by the police, but a violation may be charged as Contempt of Court. No contact orders are useful for children or minors in a domestic violence case or for non-cohabitant victims.
- Safety Plan – Please contact Juab County Attorney’s Office Victim Services at (435) 623-3460 for assistance with developing a detailed safety plan.
All victims and witnesses of crime should be treated with dignity, respect, courtesy, and sensitivity. The rights of victims and witnesses of crime are protected by the law in a manner no less vigorous than protections afforded criminal defendants.
Children
Child victims and witnesses should be treated with additional consideration than usually afforded adults. The treatment should ensure that the child’s participation be conducted in the most effective and least traumatic, intrusive, or intimidating manner. Children, in particular, should have a speedy disposition of the entire criminal justice process.
Protection
Victims and witnesses have a right to be informed as to the level of protection from intimidation and harm available to them.

Information

Court Proceedings
Victims and witnesses should have a speedy disposition of the entire criminal justice process. Victims and witnesses have the right to timely notice of judicial proceedings they are to attend and timely notice of cancellation. Victims and witnesses have the right to reasonable employer intercession services, to minimize any loss of pay or other benefits resulting from the employee’s participation in the criminal justice process.
Restitution
Victims may seek restitution or reparations, including medical costs. Victims have a right to have personal property returned expeditiously when it is no longer needed for court, law enforcement, or prosecution purposes.
