Not a liberal, not a trans person, not gay, lesbian or bisexual, not a drag queen. Instead, as usual, it's always the ones you most expect: church-goin', bible poundin' pedophile hiding behind gawd almighty. Say hi to Josh Duggar, you pervert.

But that tells you how devious liberal trans black lesbian can be. They can easily disguise themselves as straight white men.

Because she was a 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱.

Monsters like Morris are usually pretty quick to point out Muhammed's marriage to Aisha when she was 9 as part of demonizing Islam, claiming that the religion harbors pedophiles. Why would anyone be surprised by the hypocrisy on display here?

Again, she was a 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱.

Hell, the mormons started right here in America led by a 'prophet' who 'married' girls as young as 14. Once you start believing you're so special you're 'called of god', anything goes.

That is why that criminal started that church, he thought it up while he was in jail for conning people out of money. He realized religion is the biggest con, and if he set one up the way he wanted to, he could bone all the young girls he wanted to.

Naw. Old enough to bleed, old enough to breed.

Yes that thinking is making its way back into popular thought. The manosphere is pushing this hard right now and too many of our “leaders” in the GOP and the right wing in general are all in on whatever the manosphere is promoting. And, don’t forget that whenever states, especially Bible Belt states, try to increase the age of consent and marriage, the religious are always first in line to fight against it.

I'm guessing nobody else comes forward, however, because the other cases were earlier rather than later and the victims, now with a full life behind them, just don't think it's worth it. The theft you catch the thief doing is the last one in the line, not the first.

Would be interesting to ask the wife if he had 'counseled' any young girls before this. That would give a pretty good indication of who else was assaulted.

I guess we will see. But I'm also guessing his wife banhammered any "counseling sessions" with young women after this. So later pedophilia would've been more difficult for him to get away with.

Whitney's avatar

I don't know, the guy seems perfectly happy to lie to his wife and for all we know, she preferred it that way. From what I've been told, the wife almost always knows something is up, even if she doesn't know exactly what. She may have quite intentionally decided not to investigate further.

cdbunch's avatar

I'm not convinced an Evangelical woman can "banhammer" anything when it comes to her husband. Many a person has looked the other way not to disrupt their lifestyle. Women trained to be submissive even more so.

I think it very likely there are others. I don't think he believes its wrong, just illegal. His immorality was the infidelity.

So ... we got ANOTHER one, eh?

I honestly have to wonder how many times tragedies like this have to happen before people wake up to the fact that their preachers and pastors and priests are NOT necessarily the Simon-pure scions of morality they put themselves up to be. We've seen this crap with Catholic priests, evangelical preachers and whatever the Jehovah's Witnesses call their child abusers, and the abuse just keeps on happening.

I don't expect THEM to stop. I would hope there are a growing number of people out there willing to stop them.

He faces up to 100 years in prison. Twenty years for each count. If convicted, the judge will have the sentences run concurrently, so that's only 20 years. First parole hearing in 5, and due to Christian Fucking Privilege, that's when he gets out. If the judge doesn't suspend the sentence due to the same Christian Fucking Privilege.

IF he gets any actual prison time, I would expect it to be shorter than that, due to the dim view of pedophiles held by genpop.

As vile and offensive as these preachers are when they hide behind their Bibles and clerical collars to abuse children, I reserve my real disgust for the people in the pews who delegate their thinking to them, and enable them with their donations.
