The motion for a reduction of bail was denied Thursday for a man accused of sexually molesting two teenage girls who attended the Mormon church where he served as bishop in Menifee.

Bail remains at $65,000 for Todd M. Edwards, 49 and a former resident of Menifee, who remains in custody at the Robert Preston Detention Center in Riverside. Judge Becky L. Dugan set a date of July 24 for a felony settlement conference.

Edwards previously entered a plea of not guilty to charges of sexual battery, sexual penetration with a foreign object, and witness intimidation. He served for a time as bishop of the Menifee Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

  3. What excommunication due to the families of those affected so deeply, these are girls from good homes that he putting them in a place of severe depression, anxiety for rude awakening to a mean world, by trusting a grown man right in the church. I am so angry and sad that I want him put away.

  5. Is someone not allowing this to be public?? How come is not in channel 7, or in The Los Angeles Times??? Every parent should hear this , so they trust children even when they go to church.. Evil is everywhere.

  7. He is not a bishop anymore, the damage is done already to so many people, and no is not paranoia , is anger at the man that used his position to do so much damage.
