We recently filed a lawsuit against @embassyirving for knowingly allowing a convicted sex offender to serve on the prayer altar ministry. He used that position to meet our client, groom her, & then sexually assault her. The church never informed her that he was a sex offender.

Attempting to cover your perpetrator sympathizing by “condemning” sexual assault and expressing “supportive” words for victims means absolutely nothing other than you’re actually condemning the victim by supporting the perpetrator.

Too many churches have become unsafe for the hurting and the vulnerable…and safe for the those who have power and influence. This is the antithesis of Jesus. 2/2

@john_elving @ihopkc @reachjulieroys @blaiseforet @Joel7Richardson I had planned to respond to this interview, but I've been too busy creating the whole industry around clergy sexual abuse. 😏

Because many predators understand the laws regarding the age of consent, they will focus on grooming the child before that age in preparation for initiating “consensual” sexual contact after the victim reaches the age of consent. We need laws to make such grooming a crime.

A victim of adult clergy sexual abuse reported the abuse to her church & was assigned a “care” team who instructed her to leave town in order to "protect his [pastor's] family". When the victim refused, the "care" team accused her of being "rebellious". Who's caring for who??

To make matters worse, this family has been forced to uproot and move out of their beloved neighborhood while the pastor’s family remains…never providing even a hint of an apology. This is why we sue churches and those responsible for the sexual abuse of others. 2/2

If a pastor or any other spiritual leader is sexting you or sending you pictures of their anatomy, they are abusing their power and you’re being victimized. Consider speaking with us about your possible legal options and do NOT delete their texts or photos.

“Righteous anger is usually not about oneself. It is about those whom one sees being harmed and whom wants to help. Righteous anger is a tool of injustice, a scythe of compassion, more than a reactive emotion.” [Desmond Tutu]

In fact, you’ve actually managed to grow this crisis to something even more unfathomable and tragic. This is the last public conversation I am going to have with you. Though my invitation to buy you a beer next time you’re in town still stands. 11/11

Abusers who threaten to commit suicide if the victim exposes the abuse are merely attempting to manipulate and shame the victim into silence.

Claiming that the reason for not releasing an investigation report is out of “privacy concerns for the victims” is usually a cover for keeping the truth hidden. A good investigator can write a transparent report that protects the identities of victims.
