Mormon Church Discouraging Sex Abuse Victims from Reporting – Survivor Stories | Ep. 1644

 

TRIGGER WARNING: Mentions of Sexual Assault, Rape, Child Abuse

In light of the recent Associated Press article about the Mormon church abuse hotline, we decided to ask our podcast listeners if any of them had ever been discouraged by Mormon leadership from reporting abuse to the police. Hundreds of listeners responded with concrete, and heart-wrenching examples. In Friday’s episode, John and Jenn will be reading many of the accounts (scrubbed of identifying information), so as to highlight the longstanding and ongoing problem of abuse cases NOT being reported to police within the Mormon church.

  2. Stake president’s executive secretary and his wife secretly made several phone calls to my inlaws in Utah. They had access to my membership records and used telephone numbers in my records to make these calls without my knowlege for several months. When I caight them, I wrote a letter to first presidency. First presidency sent the letter back to my bishop without taking any actions to stop the calls. The bishop punished me for sending the letter saying “it was meant well, and you never send letters about any abuse.”
    This was just the beginning of further acts of abuse from other families in the ward. It stopped only when I left the church.
