Summary

Nearly 100 childhood sexual abuse allegations have emerged against the Mormon church (LDS) in California under a three-year legal window for adult survivors.

Multiple plaintiffs claim church leaders sexually abused them and that officials protected abusers rather than victims, handling cases as "matters of sin" without reporting to police.

Lawsuits allege an LDS "help line" suppressed abuse reports rather than aiding victims.

The church denies allegations, citing "discrepancies" in claims while asserting it takes abuse seriously and has prevention protocols in place.

I hate these headlines. Fuckers were not rocked by the abuse, but by the exposure of their crimes. They will probably be apologising for being found out too.
