Summary
This case arose in 2003 in Illinois.
From case notes obtained by FLOODLIT:
“LDS church member Mark Thomas molested a 4-year-old girls while the parents were worshipping at a Nauvoo temple the plaintiff says and therefore is suing the LDS Church for ‘the circumstances it alleges led to the sexual assault.'”
“The suit accuses the Church of knowing Thomas’ prior criminal acts of sexual assaults, but then reinstated his status within the church after excommunicating him.
“The suit alleges that the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services uncovered the fact that Thomas had sexually assaulted the girl back in 2002.”
