Provo Mormon bishop may face criminal charge for not reporting sex abuse

Provo police announced Tuesday that they anticipate prosecutors will file failure to report charges against an LDS bishop accused of not reporting a sex abuse incident. The criminal charges are expected, even though the initial abuse case has been dismissed.

"When you receive a complaint of abuse, whether you think it's valid or not, you need to give us a call," Provo Police Sgt. Mathew Siufanua said Tuesday.
