A parent in the Kansas City area who fought last year to ban LGBTQ-themed books from school libraries is now facing accusations of child molestation.
Ryan Utterback, a 29-year-old father from the city of Gladstone, a northern suburb of Kansas City, Missouri, has been arrested and charged with felony second-degree child molestation after a police investigation into his alleged conduct. According to local news reports, Utterback is also facing two other misdemeanor charges in separate cases, as well: fourth-degree domestic assault, and furnishing or attempting to furnish pornographic material to a minor.

A probable cause statement alleges that the man also reportedly “stuck his finger through a ripped hole in a teenager’s jeans” in a separate event, and proceeded to “rub the teenager’s leg.” And in another separate incident, court docs claim Utterback allegedly used his cell phone to show pornographic videos to a 4-year-old child, as well.
What the f**k?!?!
Per KMBC-TV, Utterback first appeared at the Clay County Courthouse on Thursday for a preliminary hearing on the charges. He is next expected to be back in court on March 10.

KMBC reports.Last year, Utterback joined a growing trend of conservatives across the country demanding the removal of LGBTQ books from school libraries, often under the guise of objecting to “sexual content.”During an October 2021 school board meeting, Utterback attempted to convince North Kansas City School District to remove lesbian cartoonist Alison Bechdel’s graphic novel Fun Home, which chronicles her childhood in rural Pennsylvania, claiming it contained sexual material.In video of the meeting, Utterback can be seen holding boards showing enlarged images from Fun Home while standing alongside Northland Parent Association president Jay Richmond.Richmond demanded that Fun Home be removed from libraries and suggested that the board could be accused of solicitation of a minor for stocking the graphic novel due to its “descriptions and pictures of oral sex.”After students protested the attempted book ban, Utterback told KMBC, “I definitely understand their struggles. It’s not lost on me.
