[June 2nd 2025] Tonight on the Mormon Newscast, we lead with a headline that’s rocking Cougar Nation—BYU starting quarterback Jake Retzlaff has been charged with a civil sexual assault lawsuit. The accusations include rape, strangulation, and biting, with the alleged victim claiming police discouraged her from pressing charges. As the university balances Title IX compliance, public perception, and its own Honor Code, we dive into the legal fallout, institutional response, and how this case could impact the season and the LDS Church’s as well as BYU’s reputation. Out Other Stories: – Utah Judge Under Fire: GOP lawmakers are demanding the resignation of a Utah judge who let a child sex offender off without prison time. Critics are calling it a miscarriage of justice; defenders say context matters. Our legal expert breaks it down. – Fairview Temple Update: Tensions escalate in Texas as the LDS Church pushes its controversial temple height proposal. We’ve got the latest from Fairview’s zoning frontlines. – Holy Threads Go Viral: Yes, it’s real. The New York Times covers the rise of “tank top garments” in Mormon culture—and not everyone is keeping cool. – Confirmed: Joseph Smith Practiced Polygamy: A prominent LDS historian just shattered a lingering apologetic myth. We explore what this admission means for faithful members still hanging on to unlikely narratives. – An Open Plea to the Amish: Calls for an end to shunning in Amish communities, raising compelling ethical questions about religious ostracism and psychological harm. Join us for a night of bold reporting, no pulled punches, and a few smoldering headlines that might just set your new tank top garments ablaze.
