SALT LAKE CITY — A convicted child sex offender from Utah who is charged with raping a minor while on parole and has been on the run for weeks is now in custody in Las Vegas.
Law had two warrants out for his arrest, one issued by Utah's Board of Pardons and Parole, the other by Utah's 2nd District Court, where Law is facing a new charge of first-degree felony rape.Those charging documents also state Law admitted to the crime when confronted by witnesses and said he "couldn't help himself."
Thursday, Edwards told KSL that U.S. Marshals based in Utah and California aided in the multi-state search for Law.Davis County Attorney Troy Rawlings confirmed Thursday evening that his office will work to have Law extradited back to Utah to face his pending criminal charges. His office has already asked for Law to be held without bail through court filings in Utah.
Because of Law's prior conviction of a grievous sexual offense, a second conviction on the most recent charges could carry a mandatory life sentence without another chance for parole.
