Former Kirton McConkie attorney Kate Lauck is defending the LDS Church's abuse helpline in recent interviews, directly challenging accounts from former bishops who say they were instructed not to report abuse. "I just don't believe" their accounts, Lauck said when confronted with the bishops' statements. The video drew 12,730 views in its first eight hours and 69 comments. Lauck's comments come as the Church faces multiple lawsuits over its handling of abuse reports through the helpline.
