05/05/03 Las Vegas,

Nevada

LDS Robert Stevenson “is arrested on July 16th, 2003 on charges that he molested an 8
year old boy. The day after the arrest, police detectives went to Stevenson’s home and
asked his wife, Cindy, for permission to seize two computers. “It was during this time that

Mrs. Stevenson informed (detectives) that LDS church elders had contacted her earlier and
requested that they be able to look into the contents of the same computers,” a detective
wrote in a police report obtained by the Review-Journal.” When police interviewed

Stevenson in July, he said someone had reported to his church bishop, Mark Garnett that
they felt uncomfortable about the way Stevenson was acting around young boys. He said
this report was lodged prior to the incidents in which he has been charged. Stevenson told
police the report to the bishop did not contain an allegation of actual sexual abuse, but
rather was an allegation of inappropriate contact or hugging of children.”
