	Supervisor's Estranged Wife Gets 13 Years in Abuse of Teen Arizona Daily Star April 8, 2011 http://azstarnet.com/news/state-and-regional/article_1378ba42-2e86-5d59-9acf-05b7df5f60c7.html The estranged wife of Maricopa County Supervisor Fulton Brock was sentenced Thursday to 13 years in prison for her sexual relationship with a Chandler boy. After her release from prison, Susan Brock, 49, will be placed on lifetime probation and be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of her life. Brock pleaded guilty to reduced charges in January after being indicted on 15 counts of child abuse. Pinal County prosecutors had pushed for the maximum 15 years in prison, portraying Susan Brock as a predator who repeatedly molested the boy after initially pursuing his older brother without success - all while they said the Mormon Church concealed the abuse. Pinal County deputy attorney Jason Holmberg presented emails and documents that detailed the sexual relationship of more than three years, and said Bishop Troy Hansen of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints had been informed of the allegations of sexual abuse, but did not report it to authorities. A church official denied the prosecution's allegations. "This matter was reported to the police when it was first disclosed to church authorities before Susan Brock confessed," said church spokesperson Kim Farah. Pinal County Superior Court Judge Robert Carter Olson read a letter from the boy, who is now 17, who was not present.
