WEST JORDAN — The woman didn't speak to the judge directly Tuesday. Instead, a letter was read on her behalf.

"He's a monster disguised as an angel," she wrote of Arturo Tenorio, 59.

The man was convicted of using his reputation and influence in the LDS Church to gain work as a marriage "counselor" and then manipulated that trust to take advantage of four women he counseled or employed. He was not a licensed counselor.

Tenorio was convicted by a jury of two counts of forcible sexual abuse, a second-degree felony, but was charged with two additional identical charges Tuesday after two more victims came forward. He immediately pleaded guilty to both of the new counts as part of an agreement that will require him to forego any appeals and serve two years in jail.

Third District Court Judge Bruce Lubeck added another year to the jail term, ordering Tenorio to spend a total of three years in jail and five years on probation. The probation period would run simultaneous to the jail sentence. Tenorio was immediately taken into custody.

"I don't know what happened here," the judge said. "I have no idea, but I generally attribute it to weakness as opposed to evil, but the consequences have been far-reaching."
