The AP found that a church "abuse help line" used by Herrod and Mauzy to contact church attorneys is part of a system that can easily be misused by church leaders to divert abuse accusations away from law enforcement and instead to church attorneys who may bury the problem, leaving victims in harm´s way.  
  
  
  
Cardinal issued her order, which the church is expected to appeal, after attorneys for three victims objected when the church refused to turn over disciplinary records for Adams, who was excommunicated in 2013.  
  
  
  
'While he says he is sad, he also admits he's OK with dying,' he wrote. 'The truth is that Ian refuses to live for himself. He chooses only to live for others until the moment he takes his very last breath.'

A gut-wrenching image that shows a 15-year-old boy who is suffering from terminal cancer comfort his sobbing brother after telling him that his life is going to end soon has left many people on the internet in tears.  
  
The teen, named Ian, was diagnosed with osteosarcoma - a type of bone cancer - in 2019. After undergoing surgery and months of chemotherapy, his family rejoiced when they learned that he was cancer free.  
  
  
  
  
  
In a motion filed earlier this year asking Cardinal to dismiss the case, the church said its defense "hinges entirely" on whether bishops John Herrod and Robert "Kim" Mauzy were required to report Adams´ "confidential confessions" to civil authorities, or were excused from reporting requirements under the privilege.  
  
The investigation was based in part on nearly 12,000 pages of sealed documents from an unrelated West Virginia child sex abuse lawsuit against the church, which provided the most detailed and comprehensive look yet at the so-called help line, which has been criticized by Mormon abuse victims and their attorneys for being inadequate to quickly stop abuse and protect victims.

8 that the late Paul Adams waived his right to keep his confessions secret when he posted videos of himself sexually abusing his two daughters on the Internet, boasted of the abuse on social media, and confessed to federal law enforcement agents, who arrested him in 2017 with no help from the church. Judge Laura Cardinal ruled on Aug.  
  
The "help line," AP´s investigation found, is housed within the church´s risk management department, where church officials work to protect the church from financial losses and lawsuits that could mar the church's reputation.  
  
During an interview last month, William Maledon, an Arizona lawyer who represents the church in the lawsuit, said the fact that Adams posted videos of his abuse of both daughters on the Internet and boasted about the abuse on social media would have no bearing on the case because neither Herrod nor Mauzy knew that Adams posted the pornographic material.  
  
  
  
They also showed that Mormon church officials consider all calls referred to attorneys with the firm Kirton McConkie, which represents the church, to be confidential under the attorney-client privilege.
