A West Virginia judge ordered sex abuse victims to pay half the
attorney costs for the Mormon Church in a civil suit alleging that
church officials covered up previous claims against their abuser.

claims – so they have asked an appeals court to vacate the Berkeley
County Circuit Court judge’s order, reported The Journal-News.
Christopher Michael Jensen, of Martinsburg, was convicted in February
2013 of one count of first-degree sexual assault and two counts of
sexual abuse by a custodian, and he was sentenced to up to 75 years in
prison.
