PHOENIX - The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was hit with several lawsuits on Dec. 28 for allegedly covering up decades of sexual abuse among Boy Scout troops in
Arizona, marking the latest litigation before the state s end-of-year deadline for adult victims to sue.
The church must be held accountable in order to bring healing and closure to Mormon victims of childhood sexual abuse, Hurley McKenna & Mertz, a law firm that focuses on church sex abuse, said in a statement.
