Betrifft: Wo war mal wieder der Geist?

Und wieder mal war der Heilige Geist auf Urlaub. Wo war der Heilige Geist, der von allen Dingen Zeugnis ablegt, auch warnt, als es um den Schutz von Kindern ging? Wahrscheinlich zu sehr beschÃ¤ftigt, als "Elder" Nash "Zeugnis" Ã¼ber das "wiederhergestellte Evangelium Jesu Christi" ablegte. Seine Mitarbeiter und Vorgesetzen waren offensichtlich auch zu sehr beschÃ¤ftigt mit dem "Erfolg" des Aufbaus des "KÃ¶nigreiches Gottes" auf Erden. 5 Jahre und 5 Monate fÃ¼r den HLT-Missionar-Kinder-MiÃŸbraucher. Schuldig 11 Kinder in 18 FÃ¤llen miÃŸbraucht zu haben. 14 Jahre Knast entgangen nachdem er "bekannte."

WÃ¼Ã¼Ã¼Ã¼Ã¼Ã¼Ã¼Ã¼Ã¼Ã¼Ã¼Ã¼rg, Kotz. LaÃŸ die Kids nie mit ihnen allen!

Salt Lake Tribune:

"THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FRANKLIN, N.C. -- A Utah man was sentenced to at least five years in prison after pleading guilty Monday to 18 counts of taking indecent liberties with a minor while he was serving a mission for the Mormon church.
Matthew Allen Nash, 27, of Salt Lake City, asked the families involved to forgive him. At least two sets of parents attended the sentencing.
"I just pray that they forgive me and the church [will forgive me]," Nash said.
Assistant District Attorney Steve Boone agreed to dismiss one count as part of the plea agreement. Boone said he offered the plea bargain so that the children involved would not have to testify.
Nash was indicted in January by a grand jury on 19 sex offenses, all of which allegedly occurred between February and May 1999. At that time, Nash was serving as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Macon County, N.C.
The charges involved 11 girls, all younger than 12."

"S.L. molester sent to N.C. prison

He admitted to assaulting girls during mission

By Angie Welling

A Salt Lake man will spend the next five years in prison after admitting to sexually molesting 11 young girls while serving an LDS mission in North Carolina.
Matthew Alan Nash, 27, pleaded guilty Monday in Macon County Superior Court to 18 counts of indecent liberties with a child. He was sentenced to serve five years and five months in prison and was immediately turned over to the North Carolina Department of Corrections.
In exchange for the guilty pleas, prosecutors dismissed a more severe count of sexual offense of a child.
According to North Carolina police, Nash’s victims were all members of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints between the ages of 5 and 8 years. The assaults took place while Nash taught class at a local LDS church or during at-home visits with church members between February and May 1999, police said.
Nash served in the North Carolina Charlotte Mission, which covers roughly the western half of the state.
Many of the girls are now in a state-run counseling program, Assistant Macon County District Attorney Steve Boone said. However, he said, in some cases the abuse was subtle enough that the girls may not have known they were victimized.
"The abuse was of such a nature that the kids sometimes may not have known what was happening," Boone said. "They may have felt uncomfortable without completely understanding what was going on."
Nash was released from his mission and later excommunicated after he admitted to his mission president he touched several girls improperly over their clothing, according to a statement released by the LDS Church.
Nash contacted the Macon County Sheriff’s Office and confessed to the crimes in January. After a Macon County grand jury indicted him on the 19 sex offenses, Nash turned himself in to Salt Lake police and was later extradited to North Carolina.
Also as part of the plea agreement, prosecutors agreed to consolidate Nash’s sentence into seven different punishments instead of the 18 he could have faced. The agreement spared Nash up to 14 years in prison.
But given his cooperation with officials, Boone said Nash’s sentence is appropriate.
"He came forward. We had not initiated any investigation until he turned himself in," Boone said, adding there was no physical evidence to link Nash to the crimes. "Putting that all together I think it is very reasonable."
A neighboring county had been investigating similar allegations against Nash, Boone said, but agreed not to file charges if he pleaded guilty in Macon County. However, there is still a chance Nash could be charged with similar crimes in other North Carolina counties, he said."
