LDS Bishop arrested for sexual assault

Keith Gillins is a 61 year-old high school teach, coach, and Mormon religious leader. He stands accused of having sex with a 17-year-old student.

"He is well-known. He's done a lot of good. He's a good man, and it is upsetting to the community and the parents and the students and everybody. It's upsetting to everybody," said Millard County Sheriff Robert Dekker.

Charging documents state the crimes occurred in November of last year, but investigators are looking at the possibility of other encounters.

I don’t get many cases of Mormon sexual abuse. I’m not sure why. It could be my news filter does not catch them, or it could be the lay priesthood does not breed as many pedophiles. I plan to look deeper. Does anyone have any advice?
