Lance Scott (born about 1963) was a Mormon church member in Orem, Utah, known to the family as an uncle figure. A person who reported the case to FLOODLIT states that their parents asked him to babysit them and their two younger sisters while the parents served in the temple, and that from kindergarten until their baptism he sexually abused them, including oral sex.

They told their mother while it was happening and nothing was done.

As an adult, in therapy after starting college, they reported it to police; the investigation was closed for lack of evidence. Their mother later told them he had married and had three daughters of his own whom he abused in the same way.
