Toombs admitted to molesting at least 53 victims, the source said.
Toombs was a younger brother of a former LDS stake president in Benson, Utah.
Toombs originally faced three counts of aggravated sexual abuse of a child for allegedly fondling a 10-year-old boy in 1993 and 1994.
This case did not go to trial because the Statute of Limitations had expired.
The boy’s mother said she spoke of Toombs’ misbehavior with boys from 1991 through 1999 with two Mormon bishops and Toombs’ family, including his brother, a stake president.
Toombs allegedly sexually abused at least 11 children between the late 1970s and his arrest in 2000.
Toombs was an LDS scoutmaster for a time and also taught clogging dance classes.
