My name is _____ ______. I am contacting you on behalf of Xxxxx, and her parents Yyyyy and Zzzzz. Xxxxx was sexually abused by her step-father, Qqqqq for over two years. He is a repeat offender, abusing his two younger sisters for years when Qqqqq was a teenager. Qqqqq has admitted guilt in a plea…
#540 Name Hidden. CS: 5
Growing up there was an elderly man in the ward who would always seek me out at church and grab my arm, and tell me I was beautiful. He’d consistently “bump” into me, and his hands would wander. When I was 14 I went to the church library to borrow a Book of Mormon, this…
#531 Name Hidden. CS: 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9,10
I’ll start from my earliest memories. I do not share this to brag. I do not share this to cause pain or hurt (although I’m sure it will do both). I share this to show the other side. To show that the LDS church does cover up these types of things. I feel my bishops…
#521 Lori E. CS: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
I went to a church university in the mid 1980s. I was super young and naive. I was also raped by my Family Home Evening Brother. We had been playing “Night Games” by the church, and he offered to walk me home for safety’s sake. This particular semester I lived with only one other girl…
#514 Sue Krupa Gray. CS: 1,2,3,4,5,7
Brethren, I am writing to you today with hopes that my story will not fall on deaf ears. My name is Sue Krupa-Gray and I was a member for over 4 decades. I believe my story is a prime example of why the church needs to stop interviewing children behind closed doors, especially in regards…
#513 Jennifer N. CS: 1,2,3,5,7,8
Long story short I was adopted and converted to the church. At age 4, I was already being sexually abused and raped. No one believed me and I had an “over active imagination” I was “coming on” to my abuser. At 8, I wasn’t allowed to get baptized because I wasn’t ready or “good enough”…
#509 Name Hidden. CS: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. Other: Foundational damage to my testimony of the truthfulness of the Gospel and the LDS Church.
I was sexually abused by family members (aunts and cousins) and babysitters from my earliest memory (as a toddler). One such abusive event actually resulted in my drowning death but I was miraculously and gratefully revived. All of my abusers were “faithful” members of the LDS Church. I have also since learned that the abuse…
#507 Name Withheld. CS: 5
As a teenager, one Bishop always had me sit on his lap after the door was closed. I didn’t question it because I was naive and had been taught to not question authority. Nothing else happened but looking back it was very inappropriate.
#502 Name Hidden. CS: 1,2,3,5,7,8
To tell my story I have to include some back story. When I was a child, probably 4th grade I was sexually assaulted. This is something I am still coming to understand as my mind had blocked many of the memories from me as a form of protection. Subsequently as a young child I always…
