https://www.sltrib.com/news/education/2019/03/08/latter-day-saint/Van Wagenen said he confessed in 1993 to police and to his lay leaders in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints leaders; he was never criminally charged but was disfellowshipped — a penalty less than excommunication — by the Utah-based faith, a penalty the victim told The Salt Lake Tribune was “unbelievably lenient. ... I’ve always wondered why I was not offered any support or counseling or therapy. Nothing.”
Also in 1993, Van Wagenen was hired as adjunct professor of film at LDS Church-owned Brigham Young University, a position he held for six years. Van Wagenen was director of content for BYU Broadcasting from 2007 to 2010, and, in 2013, he directed three films used in Latter-day Saint temple ceremonies.
Just another example of Mormon discernment.
