David Chadwick was a LDS church member in Eagle Mountain, Utah. David was charged with 3 counts of Sex abuse of a child in the 2nd degree. Chadwick was convicted on one count on August 6, 2019 of Sex Abuse of a Child. It has been reported to Floodlit Chadwick was married in a Mormon temple while facing trial for his crimes. Our source reported to us that Chadwick’s stake president defended his decision to grant Chadwick a temple recommend to be married in the LDS temple. The stake president said that facing trial for sexual abuse of a minor is unrelated to worthiness to enter the temple and be married. In addition, we are told the only thing that happened with his church membership was the church leadership flagged his membership record stating that he can’t hold a calling around the youth. Floodlit has not purchased David Chadwick’s court records but we have been told that they contain information stating Chadwick had other victims in a prior conviction.
