Case report

NOTE: Tom Kimball was never charged with a sex crime. He died by suicide before formal charges were made against him. According to our posting policy, he can be included in our database because he was an active Mormon at the time of at least some of his alleged crimes, and because the allegations have already been repeatedly discussed by a broad audience. Our goal is to provide an accurate review of allegations in each case.
