01/30/97 Utah

LDS Lloyd Gerald Pond allegedly molests a 13 year old girl. “This case was filed in Third
District Court in Salt Lake City, Utah. Pond was a Mormon Church spokesman, the host and
executive producer of “Times and Seasons”, a public affairs program of the LDS Church,
broadcast nationally and overseas. The program focused on moral and social issues,
including child abuse. Pond groomed an eleven year old girl, eventually photographing her
nude and molesting her at age 13. He received a plea bargain which was criticized in the
press for being too lenient. The bargain was considered special treatment because of his
position and connections. A newspaper article from March 2, 1997 discusses the plaintiff’s
attempts to obtain discovery of the prosecutor’s file in the Pond case and the resistance put
up by the Salt Lake City District Attorneys’ office to the civil subpoena.” POND-Lloyd
