Gordon Lamont Moon Lds Bishop Charged
Did you all see the news? I hate to say this but I was glad to hear he was charged. He failed to follow the proper procedure and there is someone who needed desperate help from him and he failed to do so.
QUOTE DUCHESNE - An LDS bishop who also serves as vice president of the Duchesne County School Board is facing criminal charges for his alleged failure to report a teenage girl's disclosure that she'd been sexually assaulted.
Gordon Lamont Moon, 43, of Duchesne, was charged Monday in 8th District Court with tampering with a witness, a third-degree felony, and failure to report abuse of a child, a class B misdemeanor.

The charges against Moon stem from a July meeting with a teenage member of his congregation. During the meeting, the girl revealed that she had been sexually assaulted by a teenage boy and Moon advised her not to report the assault to law enforcement, according to Duchesne County sheriff's detective Dan Bruso.

What is the definition of s-xual assault in this case? I'm not condoning the behavior, but if a teen boy makes a physical move on a teen girl and a Bishop fails to report it, should it necessarily be a criminal offense? Frankly, I think we've gone overboard on some of these laws.

Judge weighing whether Mormon bishop should stand trial for failure to report abuse
Actually, Utah law requires anyone who "has reason to believe that a child has been subjected to abuse or neglect, or who observes a child being subjected to conditions or circumstances which would reasonably result in abuse or neglect" to report that information immediately to the nearest law enforcement officer or to the state Division of Child and Family Services, the statute states.
