CHILD, CHILD, CHILD! NOT a young lady! SHE have had to carry that burden all that time.

[PraiseHim]

This is sickening! Five years of abusing a child! I'm glad the truth is coming out.

Never put your faith in man, but your faith in the Lord.

[EvolutionIsRealAndGodIsFiction]

How anyone can leave a child alone with a pastor or priest at this point is beyond me….

[euamoflash]

How is it possible to have a statute of limitations for a crime against a

[weswalkerstring]

I promise you she is not the only victim. No way.

[chebbohagop]

Just wait - the other victims will begin to speak now that Cindy has bravely spoken up!

She should sue for at least 50 million from the church and 50 million from him. Wonder how many more will be coming forward about him.

[tommeadows-iexb]

What's to investigate? He told his entire congregation that he stalked many little girls and he described exactly how he targeted and chose the victims. SICK SICK SICK!!!

When I was a kid, a couple of my good friends were altar boys so I wanted to be one too, but my parents wouldn't let me. Thanks mom and dad.

In 1987, when Cindy's parents found out. . .why did they take the matter to their "elders" instead of the POLICE? Too many adults have some explaining to do!!!

[eden_aumakua]

So verrrry many religious leaders being OUTED!

[Fosterdogsofmemphis]

So many freaky men out there!! Trust no one. Educate your children about these predators.

Sad that this news isn’t all that surprising anymore.

#WOW!
YOUR SIN WILL FIND YOU OUT!
🤦‍♂️

Tim Doe v St Francis Hospital went to the CT Supreme Court in 2013. The outcome is settled business. The institution had a duty to protect the minor and is financially liable. I’m Tim Doe and my sister and I were molested together and me alone (ages 7-8 me, age 9 her) while in the hospitals care, but alone with the doctor. I hope she gets justice.

[statwizard]

So how is he not being charged with a crime? 12 years old, that is a long way from a "Young Lady". There is no way there are no other victims.

[patroberts]

Just because someone can blab away about being all righteous their soul will reveal all at the end of life. He was protected, they would never have forced him out if this woman hadn’t spoken up! All of them should go!

[truthseeker]

At 20, you know a 12 year old is too young

Im glad I was right in my intuition .... Never warmed to the guy, something 'off' about him whenever I heard him from the pulpit, I always felt!
