Pedophile know since 70’s get put in charge of my kids scout troop, for 13yrs and wrestling team at
http://www.pcva.law/ongoing-investigation/david-oconnor/When I resigned in 2001 in response to God being MIA on 9-11 I was the assistant Scout Master in the same Ward as David O’Connor, who had sons my kids age and in our troop.
When I resigned Dave O’Connor became my son’s Scout Master. My wife is still Mormon and thought it would be best if we kept our son in his scout troop, since all of his friends were in it.
I begrudgingly let her, not realizing I’d be forced to go to some Scout activity at the Ward I resigned from, see the Bishop I just told ai wanted no contact, and encounter missionaries I had just got done arguing with on my front porch about rampant sexual abuse in the church nobody was doing anything about except lying and covering it up.
This is all after many of my childhood friends had come forward with accusations of abuse by our Scout Master growing up. They filed a massive lawsuit against the church and won a huge settlement, thanks to Tim Kosnoff, warrior for children abused in churches and BSA.
I had told my Bishop about this major lawsuit and pointed out we were not following BSA training in conducting Child Protection training for kids and parents.
He didn’t want to do it. I brought it up over and over to the Bishop to the Scout Master, in every meeting and always got shut down.
I told him he was vulnerable and so was the church, because there was abuse going on in the same building in another ward in another scout troop our kids all went to scout camp together and camped in the same campground.
Ignored.
I called the other ward’s Bishop, where I knew about the abuse going on and the Bishop denied knowing anything about it. He lied about the fact it was going on. Then he punished the scouts who reported it to me, but not the scout who was raping a mentally handicapped kid on their troop. I was friends with his parents and their kids were friends with my kids. They told me that’s why they pulled their kid out of scouts.
I told Kosnoff that in my deposition in my childhood friend’s case.
He said,”Wait a minute, you’re telling me you were trained to do do child protection training and you’re not doing it why?”
I said, “Because my Bishop won’t let me and I’m not in charge of making those decisions.”
He said,”If something happens, you are putting yourself at risk.”
I believed him, since he won millions suing the Mormon Church on behalf of my friends who all had to sign an NDA.
I resigned.
That was 13 yrs before Dave O’Connor finally got arrested and charged with 13 counts of child abuse.
Thank goodness I got my son out when I did!
This guy was also son’s wrestling coach at the local school which has also paid out millions to settle lawsuits.
I can back up every word of the above, and a lot more.
It’s insane that good people turned a blind Eye in O’Connor’s case for at least 13yrs that I know of, this guy was a KNOWN pedophile, since the 70’s, but everybody forgave him because he ‘repented’ According to the Bishop who put a known pedophile in charge of my son’s Mormon scout troop, unattended, no two deep leadership, no Child Protection training, rampant abuse happening all around!
But the same thing happened in my Mormon scout troop growing up, over at least 4 yrs that I know of, a known (only to the Bishop) pedophile was put in charge of a BSA troop when he had a history of raping kids. A lot of them.
And our Bishop did nothing.
Just like my wifes Bishop did nothing.
Just like the other Bishop did nothing
Except lie and punish the victims
To protect the ‘Good Name of the Church’
Instead of kids,
As a result kids got raped.
Hundreds of them.
And the cycle just keeps going on,
Generation after generation
Nothing changes
Mormons remain silent
