A convicted sex offender who is already on the Utah Sex Offender Registry was arrested early Thursday for allegedly sexually assaulting a 7-year-old girl.

Jonathan Glattli, 21, was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail for investigation of five counts of aggravated sex abuse of a child, all first-degree felonies. He was being held Thursday on no bail.

Court records show a disturbing pattern of behavior from Glattli against young children and may prompt investigators to see if there are any other victims.

Glattli was convicted in September of unlawful sexual activity with a minor. Because he was already on the offender registry, police indicated they will push prosecutors to elevate any potential charges to first-degree felonies.

Glattli was living with the family of his girlfriend in Riverton, said Salt Lake County Sheriff's Lt. Paul Jaroscak. For an unknown reason, the family told him he had to leave the house. After he left, the 7-year-old girl who lived there revealed to her parents what had happened, Jaroscak said.

Sometime after Christmas 2007, Glattli forced the girl to perform a lewd act about five times, according to jail records.

"He told the victim that if she told anyone he would get her in trouble," jail documents state.

In 2006, Glattli, who was 19 at the time, was convicted on three counts of sexual battery, all class A misdemeanors. South Jordan police arrested him after learning a 14-year-old girl was pregnant with his baby. He was given a suspended 1-year jail term for that conviction and placed on probation.
In March of 2007, South Jordan police investigated another complaint involving Glattli and a 6-year-old girl, but there was never enough evidence to bring charges, said South Jordan Police Lt. Dan Starks.

Three months later, Glattli was arrested by Salt Lake police after a woman found out her 15-year-old was having a relationship with him. What also prompted the mother to call officers is when she found out about the young girl whom he impregnated, said Salt Lake police detective Jeff Bedard. Glattli claimed at the time he was an 18-year-old high school senior.

He was charged in 3rd District Court with two counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor. He pleaded guilty in September to one and the other was dismissed, according to court records. He was given a suspended prison term of up to five years, sentenced to 180 days in jail with credit for the 110 days he had already served, and was placed on probation
