Mormon bishops won't be charged in Ariz. sex abuse case despite reported confession

[Bluebear]

PHOENIX - Prosecutors say two Mormon church bishops won't be charged in the sex abuse case involving Susan Brock, the wife of a Maricopa County supervisor.

Brock, the 49-year-old wife of county supervisor Fulton Brock, is serving a 13-year prison sentence for sexual conduct with a teenage boy.

The Arizona Republic reports that Susan Brock told the bishops about sexually abusing the teen, but neither bishop went to the police with the information.

The Mormon church says the bishops acted properly. Officials say a priest can't disclose any confession even when it concerns child abuse.
