Antrobus served as a Mormon branch president in Connersville, Indiana from approximately 1974 to 1984. Towards the end of his time there, he was called to be a bishop.

He graduated in 1975 from BYU-Provo.

In 1977, Antrobus was a US Army 2nd lieutenant.

If you are a victim of abuse by Antrobus, please consider sharing your story at FLOODLIT. It’s anonymous.

Due to the nature of Antrobus’s crimes and the fact that he spent many years working with children, we believe there may be more victims out there.
