The best part of the story is this:

"Sheriff's reports say Boise police officer Kyle Christensen was a member of that process. But they say an LDS official asked him not to be involved in a hearing involving Young because, as a police officer, he was duty-bound to report crimes, but as a member of the High Council, he had to keep whatever he heard secret.

Police say the LDS official did not tell Christensen who was involved in the disciplinary hearing.

However, a week later, in early spring, Christensen learned Young had been excommunicated and called Young to offer his support. Young then admitted to Christensen that he had molested small children and said he didn't have the courage to turn himself.

Christensen reported the conversation to higher-ranking police officials, who told Christensen to tell Young to turn himself in or a criminal investigation would be started."

When does it end?

...running TSCC would understand these very fundamental conflict of interest issues and instruct leaders to avoid the same. There are several easy solutions. For starters, no law enforcement or judicial official should sit on a high council court for a civil or criminal act.

fuck the conflict of interest.

has the Corp not seen what happened to the RCC when this stuff was swept under the carpet?

This part is sickening...

The victim told the Idaho Statesman last week that she had to attend a meeting with an LDS bishop and Ryan where she was asked to forgive Ryan for his actions.

“At that point, I was really scared. My family was about to be torn apart,” she said. “They wanted me to forgive him. I was 14. I was put on the spot. What are you going to say?”

LDS blame the victim time and time again...

Scroll down to:
On September 12, 1996, The Idaho Statesman:
"Bonneville County officials are investigating a report that a Mormon Church official tried to discourage a girl from testifying that then-Rexburg physician LaVar Withers sexually abused her.

"No charge has been filed, and the LDS official, Ucon-area Bishop Dean Andrus, denies the allegation. For two years, Andrus has served as the lay leader of the Milo Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Ward near Idaho Falls.



And a little further down we find-

..."Throughout the case, some victims have alleged that Mormon Church officials ignored their pleas for help or actually discouraged them from pursuing charges against the doctor.

"Hawkley said he learned of the allegation against Andrus last week. His client said the church official expressed concern that her testimony would cause harm to Withers. The session occurred Aug. 11 at Andrus' church offices, he said....

"Meanwhile, some of the women who accused Withers of molesting them filed a class-action lawsuit against him. The suit, filed Wednesday in Blackfoot, could cost Withers millions of dollars if the number of plaintiff's expands. For now, five women are listed as plaintiffs.

"More than 117 women have told the Rape Response and Crime Victim Center of Idaho Falls that Withers abused them.

"Because the conviction covered a 30-year period, women with allegations too old to prosecute under the statute of limitation were able to testify at Withers' sentencing hearing....

"The lawsuit seeks at least $25,000 for each woman named in the suit to cover 'mental anguish and emotional harm.' "



About nine months before Dr. Withers pled guilty to the abuse, The Idaho Statesman brought forth a mountain of evidence pointing to his guilt. The paper was very disturbed that there was a cover-up and wanted to know why no charges had been filed. In the issue for December 10, 1995, we find the following:

"Embarrassed by the intimate nature of the assaults and afraid of being ostracized by those who won't believe them, most of the women didn't tell anyone who could have put Withers out of business. The few who did found what the others feared: Their complaints were met with almost universal denial by doctors, Mormon Church officials, regulators, local law enforcement and the Idaho attorney general's office....
