Church may settle lawsuit involving rape of a woman

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints could settle a lawsuit involving a woman who claims she was raped while she attended the Missionary Training Center.

McKenna Denson said she is close to hiring a new attorney that was open to mediation in her case.

Lawyers for the LDS Church also signaled they were also open to a settlement.

Denson's case has been on hiatus since June when her previous attorneys abruptly quit.

In her lawsuit, Denson claims she was assaulted by former MTC President Joseph Bishop in a basement room back in 1984.
