Am not Mormon so don't know what to say. Maybe the elders should have told him to turn himself in?

They don’t have a priest/pastor in their “churches” so no confidentiality between them.

If they were required by law to report it then there really isnt much of a case.

This article doesn’t say to whom the man revealed the facts.

Or a coach at Penn State?

Actually, clergy have a duty to report underage sex abuse in many States.

In the Roman Catholic faith the seal of the confessional is sacrosanct. A priest literally CAN NOT go to the authorities and tell them what he heard in confession.
The LDS faith is quite different. They probably will keep silent as a courtesy on things that are simply embarrassing but by the rules of their church confession is not under seal and things that are criminal must be reported.

I’m not a mormon, but Good job. Proud of them for turning in a crook. No hiding behind the collar and covering up for them like some others have done.

Nothing sacrosanct about keeping pedophiles secret. If a priest doesn’t tell, he’s a pervert too. The Catholic church does not exist in some separate country, they have to follow the rules in America just like everybody else. They take the same lame sacrosanct position about sanctuary in a church. They claim illegal aliens are safe from the feds if they’re inside a church.

I was just explaining the difference in church rules and why the lady does not have even the beginnings of a case.

Oh BS. The Church, properly functioning, is in a battle for eternal souls, and answers to God first and man's law second. The Sacrament of Confession serves a specific purpose, and is sacred because of it. Any priest worth a damn, if he were to receive such a confession, would demand that the confessor stop his actions if they are ongoing, and perhaps turn himself in, but he is not going to violate that sacrament, nor should he. There are probably ways the priest can act to protect the child if the crimes are ongoing, but he STILL will not violate the Sacrament of Confession.
