Summary
Nearly 100 childhood sexual abuse allegations have emerged against the Mormon church (LDS) in California under a three-year legal window for adult survivors.
Multiple plaintiffs claim church leaders sexually abused them and that officials protected abusers rather than victims, handling cases as “matters of sin” without reporting to police.
Lawsuits allege an LDS “help line” suppressed abuse reports rather than aiding victims.
The church denies allegations, citing “discrepancies” in claims while asserting it takes abuse seriously and has prevention protocols in place.
Pretty sure child sex is written into every religions scriptures somewhere
You just reminded me of a joke from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. During the Ireland arc (“The Gangs Still in Ireland”, season 15 episode 6), Mac pursues an interest in becoming a Catholic priest. He ends up asking, in a vaguely worded question if it is okay to be gay. By the end, he basically nopes out when he realizes the priest was referring to relations with young boys.
