Public Sex Program

A program designed as an alternative to traditional prosecution for defendants charged with engaging in sexual activity in public places such as parks or gyms. A guilty plea is held in abeyance, and upon successful completion of an evaluation/treatment and other court terms the case is dismissed. This program’s mission is to reduce the overall public health risks, address community concerns and individual needs of those who participate in sexual activity in public locations within Salt Lake County.

Pride Counseling provides a pre-class assessment as well as group and individual clinical intervention with the focus on self-identity development, behavioral education, and personal growth.
