The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has a legal obligation to protect its members, particularly children. When Church leaders prioritize institutional protection over victim safety, they can be held legally accountable. Liability for religious institutions can arise from negligent supervision, premises liability, and breach of fiduciary duty. In states with mandatory clergy reporting laws, failing to report known or suspected abuse to authorities adds further liability. These laws vary by state, and no religious institution is exempt from these responsibilities.
