Time for this Mormon politician to come clean -- and also go to jail -- for covering up his wife's ongoing over-year-long trail of rape & sexual abuse.
From the article: the report also detailed a meeting in October 2009 -- one year prior -- with leaders of the Brocks' church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, along with the boy and his parents, who confronted Susan about sex with their son. In that meeting, both Susan and the boy allegedly denied wrongdoing. The police report later said, "Susan Brock had admitted to LDS Bishop Meyers she had performed oral sex on [the victim] at least two times." So why aren't the LDS leaders being arrested for not going to police with the information?
Good question. The abuse and rapes upon a minor by this 49 yo went on for a year after the October meeting. What about the so-called "clergy privilege?" That Lds bishop, like just about ALL Lds bishops, has a full-time job. They are essentially unpaid volunteers.
But the REAL problem with "clergy privilege" as a defense in this case is that the victim was also a Mormon -- and the victim's family initiated contact with THEIR Mormon bishop.
When the boy's parents were told...rather than immediately call police, they also contacted their bishop in the Mormon Church. As the father of the victim...told police, after meeting with Church leaders, he was "under the impression" cops would be called. But they weren't -- as the boy's father was waiting for Church leaders to alert authorities...he figured he'd just call them on his own. But that wasn't the first time the Mormon Church learned of suspicions that Brock was abusing the boy...about a year before Susan Brock's arrest, the Brocks and the victim's parents met with leaders in the Mormon Church. The topic of conversation: suspicions that Susan Brock was having sex with the teenage victim.
Mormon Church Denies Prior Knowledge of Susan Brock Affair With Teen Boy, Which is a Lie
Using clergy privilege in this case is an outright deception when the victim's family contacts their Mormon bishop. At that point, the bishop was obligated to contact authorities. It no longer is an issue of a perpetrator confiding in his bishop. Which ever bishop was the bishop of the victim's family is the one who needs to go to jail. A message needs to be sent that this crap just can't be forever covered up just because it involved an important Mormon politician and his family.
No wonder KPHO.com says 69% of their viewers are "outraged" over this story. And what's even more outrageous is for the Mormon church now to get involved Public Relations wise and defend these indefensible non-actions -- claiming that they "work to see" these crimes get reported...what's to "work to see" about picking up a telephone and placing the call???
So the pervert said she told her “bishop” about the sex, yet the official lds leaders are saying they didn’t know.
hum?
Can’t paint the LDS with a broad brush here. WAY too many “clergy” are involved in such things from ALL denominations.
Damned sad, really.
Here they are.
Man (such as Catholic priest) performing sexual acts on teenage boys = despicable, foul, horrific behavior.....take the guy out and hang him .....oh and castrate him before he's hung.
Woman performing sexual acts on teenage boy = HOT!!!
Married woman performing sexual acts on teenage boy with husband's knowledge and consent= SCORCHING, RED hot!!!!......forum rules.....photos of the perp must be posted to determine if she's "guilty" or "not guilty".
Just in case you're wondering why it's fairly quiet in here.
Carry on.
Nice out hiding in THIS word!
Ok then; tell us:
DID the 'leaders' know of it?
If they did; then WHAT did they 'do'?
