FARMINGTON, N.M. (AP) - A foster father who previously faced 85 counts of criminal sexual penetration against a minor has been arrested on six counts of the same crime after a different alleged victim videotaped 1 of the incidents.

Forty-5-year-old Todd Mortensen confessed to the six counts, which reportedly occurred between March 22 and March 30 in his home, where the 12-year-old alleged victim lived as a foster child.

Mortensen was arrested...and booked into the San Juan County Adult Detention Center on six charges of second-degree criminal sexual contact of a minor younger than the age 13.

SNIP

Mortensen is not facing the previous 85 charges, which were dismissed by prosecutors in 2005, but the District Attorney's Office is looking into the old case.

Would you mind sharing what you showed them from the official website? I think it would be very useful.

The doctrine we discussed included Jesus and Lucifer as "brothers." Contrast this with the Christian Bible which describes Satan as merely a created being (an Angel) and Jesus as God on earth to redeem us from death and sin.

Not being coy. I just wondered if you knew what the verse means, that’s all.

OK. Not living inside of your head makes it very challenging to see what you are getting at. I can’t decipher if it is my virtual wrist slapping of Star Traveler for comments unbecoming, or that I quoted the Bible after admitting to my own agnosticism. Or perhaps it is something else entirely. Care to clarify?

Forty-5-year-old?

Show off!

Mormons I’ve encountered appeared to be as moral or more moral than the average person. And one doesn’t have to subscribe to their beliefs to come to that conclusion,

When you get to 61 you can do that to Sonny...

12???

That's TERRIBLE!

At least the FLDS wait 'til they're 14!!

[Vendome]

I didn’t see the part where LDS is mentioned.

[Elsie]

Police believed Mortensen used his membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to influence the girl.

These damned ANTI-Mormons are EVERYWHERE!!

[Elsie]

True, but I won’t defend the church however it has not allowed multiple wives for over 100 years.

It is sure not because GOD told them to quit the 'practice'.

[Elsie]

Must be different graveyard shifts and more days in a weekend in N.M.

Remember...

Mormon word meanings are different than most peoples.

[Elsie]

Please do NOT use the word INSERT in a thread like this...

GOD could have told them it was more important to be a state and part of the new union.

Ok. I do find it amusing that you are quoting scripture when by your own admission God doesn't care diddle squat about our everyday lives. So when you quoted this, so very often, quoted versus I was trying to figure out if you knew what it actually meant or were just quoting it because it is so often quoted as an admonishment. That's it, pretty simple really.

[svcw]

You are joking correct?

(If you were auditioning for godhood, you'd be on your best behavior, too!)

I find it very disappointing that you have posted a comment such as this. While I’m an admitted agnostic, I grew up in church and am reminded of a particular verse right now. And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Matthew 7:3

OK, we get it. It's "wrong" for Star Traveler to somehow assume there's a "speck" in the eyes of this Mormon perp and a culture producing such perps;
but it's somehow "OK" for you to assume there's a "plank" in Star Traveler's eyes?
Now tell us how that comes about?
So Star Traveler is talking about the arrest of a man for sexually raping foster children -- and you call that a "speck" inspection?
But somebody you don't know, somebody to our knowledge may have no criminal record, and you're quick to assign some "plank" portruding?
On what grounds do you morally twist these things upside down?
People willing to come on a thread and take the side of an abuse perp of minors already has plenty of gall!
Now you're piling it on!

That's why Jesus preached against hypocrisy.
