The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints responded to a Mar. 2 San Diego Union-Tribune article on at least 91 recently filed civil lawsuits alleging sexual abuse perpetration or coverup by California church officials.
The church, commonly known as the LDS or Mormon church, said in response to the suits, “Each of these specific California cases have been filed by a single contingency law firm, which has aggressively marketed for clients […] The majority of these claims are decades old and many potential witnesses who could provide information have passed away. The Church takes these claims seriously and is carefully investigating each case individually. Early investigation has revealed multiple discrepancies in many of the claims.”
FLOODLIT.org broke the story in October 2024 about the coordinated wave of lawsuits and is now offering free copies of related court documents.
