The girl was raped by her father with her mother’s permission for 10 years
The man worked as a religious leader among young people in the evangelical church. He is under investigation on suspicion of raping at least three teenagers.
As determined, the pastor took advantage of his role as religious leader to gain the trust of the victims and find himself alone with them, when the alleged abuse took place.
Investigations also indicate that the victims would not have been concomitant. The pastor bonded with one of the targeted teens until he committed the abuse. After the youngest walked away, the leader approached another young man.
The cases reported and under investigation are believed to have occurred since 2019. One of the victims interviewed has already reached the age of majority.
The suspect is the son of the president of the congregation. Despite the accusations against him within the Church, the pastor continued to work normally in the ministry.
The column also reveals that after learning of the allegations, her father tried to convince the victims that there had been no abuse.
The presiding pastor reportedly went so far as to insinuate that it was his son who was the victim of the rape.
The other side
The report asked the Philadelphia Baptist Church for comment on the matter, but received no response as of this writing. The space remains open.
