From the Lds-church owned KSL article: A GOP activist who prosecutors say kidnapped and raped women that he met online and at CHURCH functions has been arrested and charged with 23 felonies. He appears to have targeted mostly LDS young adult women. Gregory Nathan Peterson, 37, of Orem, was charged Wednesday with seven counts of rape, three counts of object rape, two counts of aggravated kidnapping, nine counts of forcible sexual abuse, forcible sodomy, assault, burglary and sexual battery. Peterson is a GOP activist who held political events at his cabin in Heber City, 10160 E. Ridge Pine Drive, the same place where prosecutors allege he took at least two of his victims after kidnapping them and then raped them. One of those attacks, according to investigators, happened just one day after a political event...Investigators have identified at least four victims dating back to March of 2011. Peterson met three of the victims on an online dating site and another at a CHURCH function, according to the charges. Prosecutors would not say Thursday which online dating services Peterson used. However, he had profiles on at least two online dating sites, LDSSingles.com and LDSLinkup.com. His last activity on LDSSingles.com was Wednesday before he was arrested. On his dating profile, in which he used the profile name, "oddsrgoodbutgoodsrodd," Peterson stated that he had a LDS temple recommend and served an mission to Venezuela and also noted in his profile that he "regularly attends church."

Pray for the Mormon women who were Greg Peterson's victims -- and please think of them first.

Note: GOP in the headline, GOP in the first sentence, GOP repeated, “Republican(s)” mentioned twice. Why do I get the sense that if this creep had been a dem that “democrat” would not be mentioned once?

Prayers for them for sure. But, what does being a GOP activist have to do with it? How large would the newspapers be if they listed every thing that a perp ever had belonged to or had an interest in? Whenever a dem is accused of something it’s never mentioned in the press what the political party is that they belong to. But, let some republican do something and the warnings go out to be wary of those crazy racist, rapist, hateful republicans. Disgusting to say the least. Maybe we should ban political events since they obviously lead some to be raped afterwards.

Helping keep mankind warm for 65 years.

How can one think of the victims first when the emphasis is on the GOP Activist? Is there any proof that the politicians he did fundraisers for knew that he was a rapist and said or did nothing?

Of course, despite what we know about him, nobody’s talking about how Democrat Activist James Holmes (D-Aurora) murdered 12 people in a Theatre.

It’s really quite shameful how the FR religion forum has been subverted into a vehicle for a handful of frothing mormon-haters.

Now, statistically, wtf other than mormons would you be likely to target in Salt Lake City?

When I was LDS there was this man who had raped several women in our Stake (diocese for the Catholics). The Bishops and Stake President covered it up and would just move him to different wards after every rape. The women were threatened with discipline if they reported it.

It happens more than most would think in Mormonism as does the cover up.

They sure made a big point that he was a GOP activist, which has nothing to do with his crimes. I hope they throw away the key and make sure this scum never sees the light of day again. He is one small step from a serial killer in my opinion.

Not all GOP activists are rapists.

Go back to Du where those filled with hate reside.

You disgust me. I don’t know what your problem is with Mormons but you are so obsessive that you would probably post an article about a Mormon’s second cousin doing something illegal if it suited your agenda.

And it’s clever of you to post your news items in the religion forum. You’re immune from personal attacks here.

Why not be a big boy and post them in the news forum where the grownups hang out?

His dating profile name “Odds are good, but the goods are odd” is a fairly common saying in AA/NA circles. It refers to a practice known as “13th Stepping” - when a longtime member tries to have sex with a newcomer. I wonder if he also used these meetings as hunting grounds. He wouldn’t be the first.

You take a lot of grief here, Colo, but I appreciate your posts.

And still we have no mention of obomba’s homosexual encounters with larry sinclair or the fact that from obomba’s own mouth he has committed several felonies.

In my experience, the word of a man and the word of a woman are accepted quite differently in the LDS world.

I don’t wonder why a certain type of man tends to gravitate towards Mormonism; male superiority “blessed” by God.

This guy had his temple recommend by the way.
