The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is launching its Light the World Giving Machines in Las Vegas with Backstreet Boys singer Nick Carter, but the timing is raising questions, according to YouTube channel Generally Unquotable. Carter is scheduled to appear 90 minutes before a court hearing in a sexual assault lawsuit against him.
Carter has denied allegations in the lawsuit. The church's partnership with Carter for the charitable vending-machine campaign comes as he faces ongoing legal challenges. Generally Unquotable's Mormon News episode also covers Wade Christofferson's sentencing in an unrelated case.
