A woman is suing her father, saying he molested her and her siblings for years and clergy from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints counseled the man, who was a church employee, but never informed police.
The LDS Church is not a defendant in the lawsuit, which was filed Wednesday in federal court in Salt Lake City. Kristy Johnson, 55, is only suing her father, Melvin Kay Johnson, 81.
The family’s story is also the subject of a short documentary called “Glass Temples” showing at 7:00 tonight at the main branch of the Salt Lake City Public Library.
