This brilliantly reported, unforgettable true story reveals how one
of the most monstrous sexual criminals in the history of the Mormon
church preyed on his victims even as he was protected by the church
elders who knew of his behavior.
When Seattle attorney Tim Kosnoff agreed to listen to an
eighteen-year-old man who claimed to have been molested by his
Mormon Sunday school teacher, he had no idea he was embarking on a
quest for justice on behalf of multiple victims or that the battle
would consume years of his life and pit him against the vast,
powerful, and unrepentant Mormon church itself.
As Kosnoff began to investigate the case, he discovered that the
Sunday school teacher, a mysterious figure named Frank Curtis,
possessed a long and violent prison record before he was welcomed
into the church, where he became a respected elder entrusted with
the care of prepubescent Mormon boys.
The amazing legal case at the heart of "The Sins of Brother Curtis
"shows how the church's elite, well-funded team of attorneys
claimed the church was protected under the Constitution from
revealing that Curtis had molested a number of Mormon boys. Yet
Kosnoff and his devoted legal team (which included a female
investigator adept at getting parents of victims to talk to her)
succeeded in forcing the church to reveal that it knew about Curtis
and ultimately achieved a successful settlement.
Emotionally powerful page by page, "The Sins of Brother Curtis
"delivers a redemptive reading experience in which the truth, no
matter how painful and hidden, is told at last and justice is hard
won. This is a remarkable story, all true.
