The AP says it “stands by its story” as the reporter explains why he believes the bishop knew of ongoing abuse.
, but didn’t supply any examples of what was wrong with it.
Three of Adams’ children have sued the church, arguing it could have stopped the abuse had the church reported it., decrying what it called “egregious errors in reporting and editing.”church-owned Deseret NewsThe church listed what it says are facts “contained in public filings in the pending case” and “taken from the testimony of Leizza Adams, mother of the victims.”• Adams made a “limited confession about a single past incident of abuse of one child” to the bishop in late 2011.
In interviews with federal agents, the bishop said Adams was “coming in on a regular basis for counseling,” the journalist said. “At one point, the bishop called in …Adam’s wife and made him tell her about the abuse so she would know what was going on if she didn’t already, so that she could make some attempt to help protect their children.”
As to reporting child abuse, Arizona law does not require the permission of perpetrators in order to turn them in. It also does not mandate that clergy-penitent confessions of such matters remain confidential, the AP story noted. Instead, it says clergy who hear of abuse during confessions “may withhold” that information from authorities if the church leaders determine it is “reasonable and necessary” under a faith’s doctrine.
