Criminal case(s): 
George F. Willoughby “second trial for various sexual offenses committed upon a five-year-old girl, was convicted of sodomy, lewd and lascivious conduct, and rape…. At that trial, the trial court admitted the testimony of another child that several years earlier, defendant committed an uncharged sexual offense upon her.” Willoughby testifies “that as an elder in the Mormon Church, he considered child molesting as morally reprehensible as murder.”
“A number of character witnesses affirmed their belief in appellant’s (Willoughby’s) honesty, integrity and dedication to the church and its principles. They found nothing in appellant’s character to suggest he had the propensity to molest children.” Willoughby “was sentenced to the aggravated term of eight years on each count, to run consecutive and full term to each other, for a total of twenty-four years.”
