Summary
Lowell Robison was a Mormon church member who allegedly sexually abused several male relatives and BYU students.
During the 1980s and 1990s, Lowell Robison allegedly engaged in predatory sexual behaviors with several male cousins/BYU students.
In 1995, Lowell Robison was called to serve as a mission president to the Mexico Leon mission (1995-1998).
Christopher Swallow and his brother were two of his alleged victims.
When Christopher and his brother learned that Lowell Robison had been called as a mission president, they met with Elder Earl C. Tingey (LDS General Authority) at LDS church headquarters to report Lowell Robison’s sexual abuse.
