Women wrote in their statements that Wimmer had touched their buttocks and breasts inappropriately, according to the statements Gerfen read in court. One woman wrote that Wimmer had kissed her in front of her child.
Most said they didn’t report the misconduct when it happened either because they were “shocked,” or did not think anyone would believe them.
One woman wrote that Wimmer was the second counselor in the bishopric in her LDS ward when she made an appointment with him, according to one statement Gerfen read.
“I was in shock and said nothing,” when Wimmer touched her breasts, Gerfen read. She said she doubted what happened until she talked to her husband and then realized it was not accidental touching.

Bishopric chiropractor gives extra...

We simply invent new reasons, new justifications, new explanations. Sometimes we ignore the evidence altogether.” (Mathew Syed 'Black Box Thinking')

Re: Bishopric chiropractor gives extra...
Very creepy.
I had a very similar experience with a chiropractor who was in our stake presidency years ago. I was just having headaches and he told me to come in and see him. Well, he had me strip down naked and put on this little short lightweight shield thing (I kept wondering why I had to take my clothes off when all I had were headaches???).
Then he came in and got behind me. He started rubbing my neck and said, "Let's talk about your breasts". I jumped off the table and said, "Let's not...get out of here now." He acted all offended, but left the room. I got dressed and left as fast as I could. I never could even look at him after that. Strange, but he avoided me too.
I have wondered how many other women he did this to?

Re: Bishopric chiropractor gives extra...
That's nothing compared to this story. It's about a counselor in the stake presidency who was also a doctor, and had very unusual exams that he would give to his female patients.

It's a long article, so set aside some time to read the whole thing. As they say on the internet..."YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT THIS Mormon DOCTOR DID TO HIS PATIENTS, AND WHAT HAPPENED NEXT!"
The Fairfield Wives
Dr. John Parkinson, a civic and religious leader in the perfectly suburban town of Fairfield, told women they needed pelvic exams. Long exams. Several times a week. For years. And they believed him.

You should report this to authorities.

Just finished reading this. Great googely-moogely. Felt like I was reading the script for an episode of Law and Order, or a Lifetime movie..

Trimble, you ignorant sack of rhinoceros puss. The only thing more obvious than your lack of education is the foul stench that surrounds you.

Wow, just wow. I read a follow up article that he was released in 2003. I wonder what he has been up to these last 12 years.
