Case report

Woodbury originally faced 30 felony counts of lewd acts with a minor, but because of the legality of using taped phone calls as evidence, the counts were reduced.

Woodbury met the boy when he served as the young men’s president in the Rosemont Ward.

As of April 23, 2005, Woodbury was attending the La Riviera ward, according to an LDS church spokesman.

Woodbury was never married.
