A one-time Utah mayor and former bishop for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was arrested Wednesday after police say he sexually abused at least three children.
Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) The Davis County Justice Center and jail pictured on Monday, Jan. 3, 2022. Carl Johnson, a former mayor and LDS bishop, was arrested and booked into the Davis County jail on suspicion of seven counts of aggravated abuse of a child on Wednesday, Sept. 7, 2022.
Police allege in a probable cause statement that Johnson was in a “position of trust” over the three alleged victims, who disclosed they were sexually abused as children between 1985 and 1996. Another alleged victim reported Johnson inappropriately touched her in a shower when she was 5 years old in the mid-1980s. And a third said she was a preteen in 1993 when Johnson allegedly laid in bed with her and touched her inappropriately.
“Johnson admitted that he has a problem of controlling his sexual urges and has struggled with this problem for most of his life,” Deputy Kurt Jemmett wrote in a probable cause statement.
