Could 3'-UTR have ribosomes on it?

In my understanding, ribosomes will stop translation and leave mRNA when they touch stop codons. If this is correct, there should not be ribosomes on 3'-UTR. But is this correct? Are there exceptions?

My research used Ribo-seq. I want to find out non-ribosomal RNA-protein complexes binding sites. So I would like to know whether there are ribosomes on 3'-UTR, if not, all the preserved fragment mapped to 3'-UTR should come from non-ribosomal RNA-protein complexes binding sites. That's why I have this question.

Which is, essentially, a pure biology question, no? I guess Biology Stack Exchange is more appropriate, but if you insist this is bioinformatics I can reopen the thread.

It's not a pure bioinformatics question, but it's closely related to bioinformatics research.
