A woman who alleges the then-president of the LDS Missionary Training Center raped her sued The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Wednesday.

McKenna Denson says in her lawsuit that the church placed Joseph L. Bishop in charge of the training center in Provo despite “red flag sexual improprieties” years earlier.

Those include, the lawsuit claims, improprieties with a young woman while serving as a missionary in Argentina and inappropriate treatment of women when Bishop was president of Weber State University.
