A hearing is scheduled for Monday in the lawsuit McKenna Denson has filed over sexual misconduct by the man then overseeing the training of missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but it’s unclear who will be in the courtroom.
Denson lives in Pueblo, Colo. Magistrate Judge Dustin Pead is allowing her to attend Monday’s hearing in Salt Lake City by telephone.
In her lawsuit, Denson accused Joseph L. Bishop, who lives in the Phoenix area, of raping her in 1984 at Provo’s Missionary Training Center, where he was president.
Bishop has denied raping Denson, but in a recorded police interview obtained by The Salt Lake Tribune, he recalled going into a small storage room with her and asked her to expose herself because she had recently had a breast augmentation.
