“Abuse of any kind cannot be tolerated in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,” he said in a statement. “Anyone who engages in such behavior is rightfully subject to criminal prosecution and will also face discipline from the church, including loss of church membership.”
After the revelation of abuse in the missionary training center and the public humiliation of the revelation of the sex interviews of children, the church put out a statement saying abuse is not tolerated.
Then their actions were legal protection of the abusive mission president and a smear campaign against his victim. A reaffermation of the need to interview children about their sexual activity, though they can be interrogated in front of a second adult.
