SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – The Utah Attorney General’s Office is asking for the public’s help in locating a man accused of rape, human trafficking and sexual exploitation.

According to a statement from the office, Clearfield police attempted to arrest Dustin Giles Andrus, 35, last week. Andrus then reportedly led police on a high-speed chase. Officers ended the pursuit for safety reasons.

The suspect is a fugitive with 12 felonies related to the rape, sexual assault and exploitation of victims – including minors – in 2019 and 2020, according to authorities.

Officials said he’s know to drive a red 1995 Dodge Ram 2500 with Utah license plate E149CK, and also a white 2017 Subaru WRX with Utah license plate V613HP.

“Andrus is considered dangerous and caution should be exercised before confronting him,” according to the attorney general’s statement.

Anyone with information about Andrus’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Clearfield Police Department at 801-525-2831.
