Full statement on behalf of the Utah-based faith is included.
A prosecutor in Mohave County, Ariz., has filed a bar complaint against a lawyer representing The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The complaint accuses the attorney of practicing in Arizona without a license by telling an LDS bishop he did not need to report child sexual abuse.
The following is an excerpt from the complaint and its exhibits, including slides from a presentation from the Salt Lake City-based law firm of Kirton McConkie on when LDS clergy should report child abuse in Arizona. Also below is a full statement from a Phoenix attorney representing the LDS Church and Kirton McConkie.
