Dylan Kevin Whiting

Whiting was once the bishop of the Nampa 30th Ward in the Nampa Idaho East stake of the LDS church.

Allegations against Whiting as described in two Mormon Stories podcast episodes:

– Subsequent Bishop and Stake President both allegedly tried to cover up the story about the abuse.
– When the abuse was reported to ward members and the local press by a member of Whiting’s ward, they were allegedly threatened with discipline.
– Allegedly, when members of Whiting’s ward appeared on Mormon Stories (episodes 1550 and 1551) explaining the full detail of what they’d been through, members of the stake high council and bishoprics resigned.

“According to an affidavit from the Nampa Police Department, the two individuals in Whiting’s case are known to him personally rather than through his church involvement.”

“Upon learning of these allegations in early January, Church officials immediately took steps to remove this individual from his lay leadership position in the Church,” Sam Penrod, a spokesperson for the church in Salt Lake City, said in a statement emailed to the Idaho Statesman. “Abuse of any kind is not tolerated in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Anyone who engages in such behavior is rightfully subject to criminal prosecution and also faces discipline from the church, including loss of church membership.”
