https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/Mormon-se ... XPGEHNVJE/The man Peterson had seen abusing the girl in the video was Paul Adams – a US border patrol agent living in the small town of Bisbee, Arizona.
The girl was Adams’ daughter. He had been sexually abusing her for years and uploading videos to the internet.
But the astonishing truth, explored in episode four of Heaven’s Helpline, is that Simon Peterson wasn’t the first person outside of the Adams household or a dark-web chatroom to learn about the abuse.
Adams was a member of the LDS church – and two of his bishops had known about the abuse and never reported it to police. The first bishop became aware of it seven years before Adams was eventually arrested.
Yep, the Church protects the abusers at the expense of the victims.These bishops didn’t simply make their own independent decisions not to report Adams to the police; they kept this damning information under wraps on the advice of the church’s lawyers, after having called the LDS church’s dedicated 24/7 abuse helpline.
