LGBTQ Book Ban Activist Faces Child Molestation Charges

KANSAS CITY, MO — (02-06-22) — 29 year-old Ryan Utterback who has made a name for himself as a LGBTQ Book Ban advocate, now faces a felony charge for second-degree child molestation.

The man who shouted at the top of his lungs that schools were promoting pornography in LGBT themed books is also facing a misdemeanor charge of attempting to show pornographic material to a minor in a separate case.

Ryan Utterback appeared in court last Thursday, where court documents allege that the felony charges relate to separate incidents in 2020, when he allegedly touched a 12-year-old girl under her clothes and rubbed a teen’s leg underneath her jeans.

The misdemeanor case alleges that Utterback used his cellphone to show pornographic video footage to a minor beginning from when she was four years-old. He also faces another misdemeanor charge of fourth-degree domestic assault.

George M. Johnson, the author of the second book conservatives have been fighting to be removed from school libraries – highlighted the charges against Utterback and his earlier objections over the LGBT-themed books being “pornographic and inappropriate for his kids” by posting on twitter “Our books teach [and] give resources to kids about predators like him.”

A man who said All Boys Aren’t Blue was pornographic and inappropriate for his kids at a school board meeting has been charged with sexually abusing kids and giving porn to a minor.

Our books TEACH & give resources to kids about predators like him. https://t.co/S40skluL26
