I agree with this response to the Mormon Newsroom:

“I am disgusted–disgusted–with the official response of the Mormon church to the tape released yesterday about the sexual assault of a young sister missionary in the MTC by Joseph L. Bishop, who was serving as MTC president at the time.

It is full of subterfuge and victim-blaming. It is dishonest. It is evil. And it is precisely the reason these things happen: powerful institutions protect their own at the expense of victims. Even when there is proof–even when there is an audiotape of a man in his own voice admitting to molesting missionaries, acknowledging the existence of a secret sex room in the basement of the MTC, showing no surprise whatsoever at accusations of sexual assault, and being unable to definitively place the identity of the woman standing in front of him because he keeps getting her mixed up with other women.

And yet the line of defense is “the Church has engaged in an investigation of this woman’s allegations. In the course of that investigation, both she and Mr. Bishop have been interviewed by outside legal counsel. Not surprisingly, the the stories, timelines, and recollections of those involved are dramatically different” and “The Church, as a religious organization, does not have the investigative tools available to law enforcement agencies. Nor can the Church substitute for the courts in adjudicating legal claims.”

ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?” (see link for the rest...)
