Trent Rogers was a Mormon church member and convicted child sexual abuser in Arizona.

Rogers pleaded guilty in 1986 and was sentenced to three years probation.

In 1986, a woman filed a lawsuit against the LDS church – one of the earliest such cases (and three years earlier than the church itself later said it was first sued over abuse allegations).
