(AP) -- SALT LAKE CITY — David Hiser felt sick to his stomach when he learned that a man he says sexually abused him in his childhood had been convicted of molesting someone else before him and was still allowed to be a youth leader in his church where the abuse occurred.
The revelation came during a recent period of awakening during which Hiser confronted the impact the sexual abuse he alleges happened in the 1980s had on his life — all of it at the hands of a youth leader in an Oregon congregation of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Hiser, 51, filed a lawsuit Tuesday against the religion to which he still belongs, alleging the Utah-based faith failed to protect him despite warning signs.
