Again, because it was while working in Utah that I woke-up, Mormons are the area of my knowledge. The LDS church covers for the men, similar to the way people in Steubenville covered, girls are made to feel dirty so they shut-up, they aren't believed, they are threatened, methods of suppressing the truth go on and on.

I personally know of an incest case with a brother and one with a cousin. The parents were alcoholics and in at least one case, the mother had a borderline personality.
