A one-time Utah mayor and former bishop for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was arrested Wednesday after police say he sexually abused at least three children.

Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) The Davis County Justice Center and jail pictured on Monday, Jan. 3, 2022. Carl Johnson, a former mayor and LDS bishop, was arrested and booked into the Davis County jail on suspicion of seven counts of aggravated abuse of a child on Wednesday, Sept. 7, 2022.

Police allege in a probable cause statement that Johnson was in a “position of trust” over the three alleged victims, who disclosed they were sexually abused as children between 1985 and 1996. Another alleged victim reported Johnson inappropriately touched her in a shower when she was 5 years old in the mid-1980s. And a third said she was a preteen in 1993 when Johnson allegedly laid in bed with her and touched her inappropriately.

“Johnson admitted that he has a problem of controlling his sexual urges and has struggled with this problem for most of his life,” Deputy Kurt Jemmett wrote in a probable cause statement.

So why is he in Davis if he got picked up in weber

This makes me sick and sad at the same time. But to broad brush all LDS leaders is wrong as many on this app will do. We need to root out all evil wherever it’s found. But, let’s not diminish all the good works that so many church leaders give.

If he did it, lock him up.

And of course you sick people who call yourselves 'journalists' and claim to advocate for 'social justice' just can't stop gloating about it.

Surprised? It is a way of life for many prominent mormon men

Lock him up.

Bishops can be just as debauched and pervy as anyone else. They are random neighbors who are often selected for their business acumen, etc. They are not “called by God.” Keep your kids safe, don’t trust clergy of any religion.

Patbagley Another 'isolated incident'.

😡why are so many religious people so sexually perverse?

I'm, like, so shocked.

Patbagley No cover up this time? Good good.

This can’t be true. According to PaulGonzalez10, only homosexuals do this kinda stuff.

Wonder how many men in the Mormon hierarchy he told about this over the years?

Quick call the church's lawyers' hotline!!!

disgusting!

They is no room for people like this in are Society anymore he should be given a death penalty being put in a position of power he should automatically get the death penalty
