SALT LAKE CITY — Arturo Tenorio was like a father to the two women he inappropriately touched while “counseling” them on their marriage problems, they testified Wednesday.
Both of the man’s alleged victims took the stand Wednesday on the first day of Tenorio’s trial in 3rd District Court. He is accused of using his reputation and influence in the LDS Church to gain work as a marriage “counselor” and then manipulating that trust to take advantage of two clients.
Tenorio, 59, is charged with two counts of forcible sexual abuse, a second-degree felony.
Both women said they were referred to Tenorio by their LDS bishop and their first few sessions with Tenorio also involved their husbands. Later, they said, Tenorio told them he needed to meet with them “one on one.”
