Las Vegas man arrested after sexually harassing a teen waitress, Cedar City police say

CEDAR CITY — A man was arrested after being accused of making sexual comments towards a 17-year-old girl and allegedly grabbing her inappropriately while she was at work.

Steven C. Jackson, 65, of Las Vegas, Nevada, was booked into the Iron County Jail on suspicion of forcible sexual abuse and criminal solicitation of a child, second-degree felonies, and a class-B misdemeanor charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, according to the police affidavit.

On Saturday afternoon, Cedar City police received a report of a sex offense at a restaurant involving a teen waitress and Jackson. The victim told police that Jackson made several inappropriate and sexual comments while she was serving him.

“In particular, he told her that he ‘wants’ her and asked ‘how does that make you feel,’” the affidavit stated.

According to the affidavit, the victim told Jackson that she was 17 and was in high school, but “despite telling him her age, the adult male suspect continued to make these types of comments and
tipped her $10 shortly after he was at the restaurant.”
