Utahns can now search public court records from home more easily, and the state lawmaker behind the effort hopes this will help residents vet the people they meet on dating apps.
Lawmaker who proposed the bill expanding access says he hopes it will help people be safer on dating apps.
With this expanded service, which launched Jan. 29, Utahns can access the same public cases and information available through the monthly subscription. People can also still go to a courthouse in person and look up cases for free. In these cases, victims were more likely to be strangled, have more severe injuries, be around the age of college students and self-disclose a mental illness, according to Valentine. Victims were also more likely to be male in dating app-facilitated rapes than in Valentine’s broader database.
