In This Church, Child Sexual Abuse Has Gone Unchecked for So Long That It Spans Generations

In a rural area of eastern Wyoming, near Moorcroft, a church has been linked to allegations of child sexual abuse. The church, part of a little-known denomination, has a teaching that certain acts can be wiped away and forgotten. A man from this church was accused of abusing young girls during Sunday services, with allegations of hundreds of incidents. Local prosecutors said the preacher was aware of the abuse but did not report it to police, instead advising the man to seek therapy. Further details about this case are available from ProPublica, which has investigated the matter. The allegations span generations and involve multiple individuals from the same faith.
