This is the first article I've read on your site, and I was so distracted by the glaring lack of editing in the article that it made me question the credibility of ABC4 news and I could hardly focus on the story itself! What happened to these women is horrible, but I will continue to find my news elsewhere. The obvious errors in this piece show a huge lack of attention to detail - so is there a dearth of attention to detail in your news stories as well? I'm embarrassed for this network and encourage you to either hire editors for your site, or get new ones. Yikes.

Fighting for Justice… You nailed it! Sad, however true. So let me get this straight… These women were forced to suffer an evil act from this Mr. Peterson. Got their strength and courage up to reach out, asking for help and assistance from individuals working in state departments those are to be there for all of us. Instead, this victim got the opposite, her horrific tragedy only to be ignored and dismissed. So she picked herself up once again, and bravely searched another state department…continuing to seek help. By the Grace of God, met someone who was willing to help…despite inside or outside “the jurisdiction.” I must say I am so relieved to learn that there are at least a few good individuals left working in those departments and who are sincerely willing to help. Wait a minute, let’s back up…to the first individual that this victim encountered that was working in the first state department. Is anyone investigating this individual? It’s about time for this to happen. These individuals should be held accountable for their actions and/or failure of actions too. In addition, and if necessary, lose their “job”… yes, the one they are NOT doing in the first place, and clearly have their OWN agenda. If I had not encountered what I have, from people working in these very same departments along with several other departments here in Utah, I would probably have a hard time believing how these women were treated. Yet, it is true, and should be disturbing to anyone. What is going on? Someone explain to me why behavior like this is being tolerated?! Is this okay? Absolutely not, in fact it’s ludicrous. I really want to believe other states would not put up with this, so I ask why should we here in Utah?! Signed, Fghtn4Justice2

Not too surprising the lds church did nothing. They've always protected their older male members from stuff like this. Lying for the lord as they'll put it. All started with their fake prophet JS who married and raped a 14 year old girl.
