LDS Primary President Charged With Kissing Teen !

Tonight on The Mormon Newscast we lead with breaking local news out of Layton: a junior high employee has been arrested and charged with inappropriate conduct involving a 17-year-old. We break down what we know, the legal implications, and the community response.

In other headlines, we cover a troubling case out of Cody where a woman allegedly wiped her husband’s phone after his arrest on suspicion of child sex crimes and now faces significant prison time and fines if convicted. Also in Cody news, an LDS man has been accused of sexually abusing a minor and we’ll bring you the latest and context around the charges.

We share the sad news of the death of an LDS missionary serving abroad as well as take a look at public facing Church discussion around missionaries using English language classes as a tool to facilitate gospel teaching, including what it means now that the Church is more openly acknowledging the strategy. Plus, cultural corner segments covering the new Netflix documentary Evil Influencer, the latest apostle shortlist developments within the LDS Church, and important updates to the youth interview schedule that every member family should know.

Tune in for comprehensive coverage, thoughtful analysis, and all the top stories shaping Latter-day Saint communities today.
