Several men say he sexually abused them.At 9 a.m. on Friday, Salt Lake Tribune reporters Alixel Cabrera, Palak Jayswal and Jessica Miller, along with news columnist Robert Gehrke, join Utah Public Radio’s Tom Williams to talk about the week’s top stories.Every Friday at 9 a.m., stream “Behind the Headlines” at kcpw.org, or tune in to KCPW 88.3 FM or Utah Public Radio at www.upr.org for the broadcast.
