Bump. This Mo in the news for all the wrong reasons. Sadly, KSL buries the lead a bit by leaving out the fact that the guy was an LDS bishop (!) at the time he was arrested.

The other news channels don't miss their chance to pounce, however:

I want to believe that the church just couldn't have known this guy should not be a priesthood key holder, as is the case many times when church leaders go rogue. But I think you can make a pretty good argument that wasn't the case here:
I'm a proponent of a 1-strike-and-you're-out-of-all-future-church-leadership-callings policy. Perhaps that exists and I'm just not aware of it. So for now, I"ll go ahead and assume that he was somehow able to keep the gory details from his SGPD departure under wraps. That said, as someone who grew up there and knows just how small a town St. George is, I find it difficult to believe that his church leaders didn't find out about that stuff back then.

2News learned that back in 2012, Moss was asked to resign from the St. George City Police Department. He was in the position of lieutenant with supervisory power over various units, including members of the gang and vice squads. He had been employed with the department for 15 years prior to allegations that he had engaged in consensual relationships with at least one or two women, at least one of whom was his subordinate. The disciplinary action in asking him to resign was based on the fact that he was on duty or had an active duty component when engaging in those relationships.
