Brian Pickett Mormon Sex Crime Case Summary
04/03/86 Maui, Hawaii
Brian Pickett at the LDS Maui Land and Pineapple Company.
This LDS company “recruited youths from Mormon communities in Utah and southern Idaho
to go to camps in Maui to pick pineapples in the 1970s and 1980s, which led to them being
sexually molested.”
“The lawsuit claims that Mormon men in their 20s, who qualified for supervisory positions
after completing their two-year missions, ran the camps, which recruited minors from church
wards and scouting organizations.” And claims that one man, who was appointed camp
coordinator, branch president and stake high counselor for one of the camps, molested the
two boys from 1986 until 1989.”
“Jacob Huggard and Kyle Spray said they were molested by a coordinator who oversaw
hundreds of boys at a camp from 1986 to 1988. Both men are now living in Pleasant Grove,
Utah. According to the lawsuit filed Wednesday, the church recruited hundreds of teen boys
from Utah and southeastern Idaho to work in Maui pineapple fields in the 1970s and 1980s.
The camps closed in the 1990s.”
