Mormon Church has "playbook" to evade sex-abuse charges

[MU82]

Recordings show how the Mormon church protects itself from child sex abuse claims

Among AP's findings:

++ The recordings provide a record of the steps the church normally takes behind closed doors to keep allegations of child sex abuse secret.

++ More than half the states maintain clergy-penitent privilege, which provides a loophole for clergy who are otherwise required to report child sex abuse. As a result, some child predators who reveal their crimes to clergy in a confessional setting are allowed to remain free.

++ Although child welfare advocates have attempted to change or eliminate the privilege, the AP found that lobbying by religious institutions has persuaded state legislators throughout the country to maintain the loophole.

Based on this and your last locked thread, I would hate to see your google search history.

I subscribe to newsfeeds from the AP, WSJ, New York Times and Washington Post. (And during basketball season, the Milwaukee JS.) That is where I get the information I post.

This is not a political post. It is a news story, and a pretty big one. And I'd think that Catholics, who have gone through much of the same kind of thing, would be interested.

We already know who the real culprits of J6 were. Many of them are rightfully in jail, with sentences coming.

It's good to see those domestic terrorists being held accountable for their treasonous actions.

tbh, when the Jan 6 insurrection first happened, I immediately thought it was just a bunch of drunken redneck hillbillies having a little fun. Boy was I wrong.

You're the one who brought up the former president, his attempt to use a violent coup to steal an election he lost by 7 million votes, and politics at all.

Read the article, discuss the contents, or do everybody a favor and go away.

Has anyone questioned Jim Harbaugh on how the Mormons got Michigan State's playbook?

He read the words 'sexual assault' and named the first person that popped into his head. As we all would.
