Tonight on The Mormon Newscast, we’re diving into a disturbing and heartbreaking headline: A former Mormon missionary has been arrested in Pittsburgh, accused of sexually abusing multiple minors. We’ll break down the details of the case, how he allegedly used his church affiliation to gain trust, and what this means for the LDS Church’s ongoing struggle with abuse scandals.
