David Clohessy: A test of justice for W.Va. child sex abuse
victimsA dozen children and their parents are suing Mormon officials for
allegedly enabling and concealing the heinous abuses committed by a now
ex-Mormon, Christopher Michael Jensen. There's no doubt about Jensen's guilt —
he was convicted of assaulting youngsters in both Utah and West
Virginia.
Mormon officials convinced a judge to appoint a private lawyer to
defend Jensen and persuaded that judge to force the victims to pay half of
Jensen's defense lawyers' fees.
