On October 23, 2019, a felony complaint was filed against Amalia Marie Utz (DOB 3/8/72), of Oak Park. The complaint alleges that Utz engaged in sexual intercourse and oral copulation on multiple occasions with two 14-year-old male victims. The complaint also alleges that Utz provided marijuana to juveniles and allowed her home to be a place where narcotics could be distributed and used.Â
