Lorenzo said she planned to pursue the girls for indecent exposure,LBCreported. Moreover, the victim’s friends reportedly made it clear that she was over 18, stressing Lorenzo shouldn’t touch her.
But the tables quickly turned for Lorenzo, who has since been labeled aKaren, as she is currently facing a charge of sexual battery, according to court papers.
The woman, who works for Utah’s Attorney General, was later released after initially being arrested on Wednesday (April 24) and held in custody at Washington County Corrections.
Lorenzo took the matter to police herself, saying the teen’s skirt was “hiked above her vagina and butt,”LBCreported.
Additionally, she reportedly told law enforcement that she pulled the skirt down because there were children present.
CC Snow, who witnessed the scene and happened to be the friend of the alleged victim who had uploaded the original viral TikTok video, shared her version of the incident earlier this week.
Taking to TikTok again, she recalled in avideo: “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 underage, you probably shouldn’t be wearing that.’”
CC further explained that in the restaurant, there werehigh schooldances and “tons of dance groups, tons of people.”
The TikToker reflected: “Would you just imply that you think she’s a minor, and you just assaulted her?”

Another person wrote: “People and their audacity. you don’t touch a females skirt period!sexual assault charge. that is completely not okay.”
A separate individual chimed in: “This is SA. Insane. Everything she did was wrong and she should be charged.
“She should have been kicked out as well. I’m so sorry this happened to your friend.”
