03/25/14 Layton, Utah

LDS Timothy Morgan Butler “was arrested on “March 25, 2014, after a 10-year-old girl
accused him of touching her inappropriately, court records say. He told officers he sexually
abused another child under the age of 10 around the same time as the first child, according
to court records. Butler pleaded guilty to three counts of attempted aggravated sexual
abuse of a child.

Butler told a judge he found God when serving jail time 20 years ago (he was ordered to
serve a year sentence in the Davis County Jail 20 years ago for a drug possession charge)
when he read the Book of Mormon. Timothy Morgan Butler explained as he spoke at a

270 of 316

scheduled sentencing hearing before Judge Glen Dawson on Tuesday, Sept. 6, in 2nd

District Court. Butler said he was a member of the LDS Church at that time.”
