The entire Church knew about it? Every single member?

Rather than call the police, Fulton Brock called his bishop at the Mormon Church, to whom Susan Brock admitted having...sex...with the boy.

So they did exactly the same thing Catholic Bishops did for decades, then.

Go to the first link in post #1...you'll see a discussion in that Idaho case about all these lay people who knew about that incident.

You see, the Mormon church doesn't have any "professional" leaders. They're ALL lay leaders. And so whenever any of these lay leaders claim knowledge to such abuse, the Mormon legal reps & hierarchy rushes in and claims "clergy privilege" -- no matter who they are.

So you can't even tell in the Mormon church where "clergy privilege" begins and where it ends.
