Summary
In January 1974, a Mormon stake high council disciplined Bob Berchtold for his involvement with “another young girl,” perhaps not his main abuse victim.
Berchtold had tried to victimize at least a half-dozen other young girls in that era and had been reprimanded by the LDS church in 1974. While we don’t know what that reprimand consisted of, it wasn’t an excommunication.
The Netflix documentary/series: Abducted in Plain Sight covers Berchtold’s story.
FLOODLIT has received a report from someone who knew Berchtold. The source said Berchtold spent seven years working at the Las Vegas Nevada Mormon temple as an ordinance worker and that he was a bishopric counselor for some time.
Berchtold allegedly had at least seven victims.
