Architecture of Abuse explores the widespread issue of child sexual abuse in Utah, with a particular focus on how the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has historically responded to reports of abuse within its community. Hosted by Alyssa Grenfell, through the lens of veteran attorney and co-host Tim Kosnoff’s decades-long career representing survivors, and in conversation with clinical therapists, sociologists, historians, journalists, and researchers, some of whom are active LDS members, we examine the cultural, institutional, and historical forces that enable silence and protect abusers.

We aim to equip listeners with a deeper understanding of the scope of this issue, and how abuse can be properly prevented and addressed, while offering support and resources for survivors—including information about legal representation. Rooted in compassion and a call for accountability, this podcast invites listeners—especially members of the LDS Church—to be part of the movement for meaningful change.
