INDEPENDENCE, Mo. -- Members of SNAP, Survivors' Network of those Abused by Priests, said they do not want the Community of Christ Church to ignore possible victims of abuse within the church.

Five members of the Mohler family have been charged for sex crimes in Lafayette County.

Linda Booth, a spokeswoman for Community of Christ church, said Burrell Mohler Sr., David Mohler and Jared Mohler were lay ministers but were not in positions of leadership or involved with youth.

SNAP members believe it is likely there are other victims who are children of fellow church members.

Booth said the church is very aware of the dangers of abuse of children, and they are approaching church members to see if anyone has been abused.
