Smith, Joseph founder of the LDS church (the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or Mormon church); accused during his life (1805-1844) of adulterous affairs with girls under the age of 18 and women; never charged with a sex crime
FLOODLIT provides information about people who were publicly accused of sex crimes allegedly committed while they were active members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We do not state or imply that individuals facing allegations are guilty of a crime or liable for civil claims. The reports on this website are merely allegations. The US legal system presumes that a person accused of or charged with a crime is innocent until proven guilty, and that defendants in civil actions are not liable for such claims unless a plaintiff proves otherwise.
