Raymond Utz, the former Planning Assistant Chief for Prince William County pled guilty yesterday in court to two counts of indecent exposure.
The incident took place in November 2014 in Woodbridge, according to Prince William police.
According to a Prince William police release, the victim – a 38-year old woman, said that she was stopped at an intersection when Utz pulled beside her vehicle and exposed himself, making obscene sexual gestures.
Prince William police also stated in a report that Utz had been involved in another encounter like this earlier that day.
Utz had worked for the county since 2003, and was fired shortly after the incident, said Jason Grant – a spokesman for Prince William County.
Commonwealth Attorney Paul Ebert stated that the judge assigned a $2,500 for each count ($5,000 total) and 30 days of jail time for each count (60 total) as sentencing in the case – but Utz may not be required to pay the fines or serve the time.
“The jail time and fnes were suspended, [contingent] on his mental treatment. If he successfully completes the treatment, that’ll be the end of it. He won’t have to pay the fines or serve 60-days,” said Ebert.
When asked, Ebert stated that Utz will not be placed on any kind of sex offender registry and that he is currently receiving mental health treatment.
“He is to have no contact with the victims or anyone else [involved],” said Ebert.
