From the UTAH ATTORNEY GENERAL, 2006:

LOS ANGELES TIMES May 12, 2006
Court records, undisclosed investigative reports and interviews by The [Los Angeles] Times over the last year show that church authorities flout state and federal laws and systematically deny rights and freedoms, especially to women and children.

"The fact that this has been going on all these years, and the fact that justice has not been there to protect women and children … from amazing civil rights violations — it is an embarrassment," said Utah Atty. Gen. Mark Shurtleff.

"I don't want to indict the states of Utah and Arizona, but mea culpa — we are responsible."
