The State of Utah views recidivist criminals very unfavorably, whether or not those previous crimes were committed in Utah or in any other territory of the United States. To be designated as a repeat or habitual sex offender, you must have been convicted or plead guilty to two or more felony sexual offenses and be currently charged with another felony sexual offense committed in Utah.
Though the government does not always get its man, it is very good at bullying people through the justice system to plead guilty rather than fight their charges at trial. A past criminal record can seriously hurt your chances at leniency if you are again facing down prosecutors.
