Former LDS Bishop Arrested on Child Sex Abuse Charges

John Goodrich, previously highlighted in an AP investigation, faces charges in Virginia for allegedly abusing his daughter.

John Goodrich, a former bishop in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was arrested in Virginia on felony child sexual abuse charges.
The charges stem from allegations that he abused his daughter during a 1999 field trip to Washington, D.C.
A previous charge in Idaho was dropped after a key witness, another bishop, refused to testify due to clergy-penitent privilege.
The AP investigation revealed the church's risk management strategies, including a $300,000 payment to the victim for a non-disclosure agreement.
Goodrich has posted bond and will be allowed to leave Virginia during legal proceedings.
