Alleged crime scenes:
Ronald Boyce was a Mormon seminary teacher in Schenectady, New York in the 1990s.
In 2024, Boyce was sued, along with the LDS church, regarding allegations that he sexually abused three children between 1994 and 2015.
Two victims were repeatedly sexually abused by Boyce from 1994 to 2001, the complaint said.
Church officials allegedly received three reports regarding alleged abuse by Boyce.
The lawsuit said Boyce was excommunicated by the church in 2003, but assigned by the church to care for a child and their family, as their home teacher.
Boyce repeatedly sexually abused the child from 2007 to 2015, according to the lawsuit.
Boyce “was previously disciplined in Utah for sexually assaulting track athletes” and the Church “decided to move [Defendant Boyce] from Utah to Schenectady, New York, rather than pursue legal or disciplinary action against him,” the complaint said.
