About LDS Church Sex Abuse Claims
In recent years, numerous allegations have emerged regarding the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' (LDS Church) handling of sexual abuse cases. Lawsuits allege that church officials failed to report abuse to authorities, protected abusers, and used the church's abuse helpline to shield the institution rather than help victims. A significant investigation by the Associated Press in 2022 revealed how the church's helpline was often used to direct abuse reports to church attorneys rather than law enforcement, potentially enabling continued abuse. Cases involve abuse by church leaders, members in positions of authority, and abuse that occurred during church-sponsored activities or on church property. Survivors allege that the church's culture of secrecy and protection of its reputation created an environment where abuse could continue.
