SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) – Concert tickets for sex may have landed a 35-year old in jail.

Antuan Hite was charged in October for multiple counts of unlawful sex with a minor.

But Thursday, the victim’s mother told ABC 4 News she suspects there may be other victims out there.

"He gave free tickets to concerts,” says the mother who did not want to be identified.

According to this mom, Hite offered her daughter free tickets to an upcoming concern at Salt Lake City's The Complex, a venue for concerts.

“This is how he victimized my daughter was giving her free tickets at one point and then turning around and telling her he had more free tickets for her,” the mother says. “And this is when the assault took place.”

Court documents show Hite and the 14 year old met at a parking lot in White City.

At three a.m. a deputy spotted the car and walked up on Hite and his victim.

Police arrested Hite for unlawful sex with a minor.

"(I am) very angry, yes, very, very angry,” the mother says. “I've gone through a lot of emotions over the last two months.”

Hite was charged with several felony counts of sex with a minor but the mother worries that he may have preyed on other young teens as well.

“There are other victims out there,” the mother says. “If he did this to my daughter I am sure he did this to other girls."

But a spokesman for the Unified Police says there is no evidence of other victims.

“So far we haven’t come across anyone else,” Lt. Justin Hoyal says.
