Woman sues LDS church claiming bishop told her not to report years of sexual abuse by high priest

The woman, who was a member of the Church, alleged she was raped by the high priest in 1995 when she was 10 years old, and the abuse continued until she was 15 years old, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported, citing the lawsuit filed Tuesday in a federal court in Las Vegas.
