Judge Carol Perry heard arguments Monday after lawyers for the
Utah-based LDS Church filed a motion to dismiss five lawsuits, the
Gallup Independent reported Tuesday.
The suits filed in tribal courts allege Native American children were
sexually abused while enrolled in the church’s Indian Student Placement
Program. The first suit was filed in 2016 on behalf of two adults who
said they were abused when they were students in the program.
