An LDS bishop charged with sexually abusing two underage males in his ward is expected to enter into a plea deal soon.
The defendant, Erik Hughes, appeared Wednesday in Fourth District Court before Judge Thomas Low with his attorney, John Allan.
Allan told Low he and David Sturgill, Utah County deputy attorney, are prepared to enter into a plea agreement.
“We have a resolution but we’re trying to tie up a few ends,” Allan said.
Allan asked for another hearing in two weeks where it is likely that Hughes, 51, will enter pleas. He was arrested just 49 days ago.
