4 takeaways from AP's Mormon church sex abuse investigation

Summary by Ground News

Arizona bishop learned that a member of his ward was sexually assaulting his 5-year-old daughter, he followed church policy and called the Mormon Abuse Help Line. The bishop later told law enforcement that church attorneys in Salt Lake City who staff the help line around the clock said that because he learned of the abuse during a counseling session the church considers a spiritual confession, he was legally bound to keep the abuse secret. Paul Douglas Adams continued abusing his daughter for as many as seven more years, and went on to abuse a second daughter.
