Was 
Adam Wolfe, whose legal name is David Michael Blackner, was “a registered sex offender who used an alias without permission while holding leadership positions and working with minors in his LDS ward, police say.”
“51 -year-old Adam Wolfe, who formerly went by the legal name of David Michael Blackner, is charged with two counts of violating his sex offender registry, both third-degree felonies.”
“While in that (ward), he was involved in several programs where he had access to minors,” Findlay said. “Because this person had access to children, there’s some concern there may be victims out there that haven’t been identified.”
