Continuing Revelations: Abuse and the Mormon Church & LDS

  • Summary

  • Not many religions are as shrouded in secrecy as the Church

    of Latter Day Saints (LDS) and its progeny. This secrecy cultivates a culture

    that is ripe for abuse to occur. Attorney Peter Janci of Crew Janci LLP represents sexual abuse

    survivors including those abused by LDS and FDLS clergy and rejoins us for this

    episode of the podcast to discuss how the abuse occurs and how we can combat

    it.

    Sexual violence cases involving LDS churches and others

    associated with Mormonism tend to be discussed less often than similar cases

    against Catholic churches because these crimes are reported less often. The

    extent of abuse that occurs is significant, however. Victims of abuse are

    deterred from reporting sexual crimes due to the insular structure of LDS

    churches and those related as well as the fact that these churches are often

    based in states where court statutes stop victims from being able to take legal

    action.


    Tune in to learn more about the history of sexual violence

    in LDS churches and how abuse is often hidden.
