The Pedophiles Are Inside The Churches

It’s been a while since we noted the child sexual abuse going on in our nation’s churches by our church leaders, teachers, and such, so let’s take a look, thanks to JoeMyGod, at the latest scandals …

ILLINOIS

Isaiah Mikkelson, who was a youth leader at Hope Lutheran Church in Quincy, was sentenced to 6 years each for two counts of criminal sexual abuse of a victim between 13 and 18 years old on church property.

FLORIDA

Robert William Austin, a Department of Corrections chaplain, was arrested on seven counts of transmission of harmful material to a minor, two counts of computer pornography, seducing, soliciting, luring, or enticing a child to engage in an illegal act, and one count of unlawful use of a 2-way communication device; Austin sent explicit messages to a “14-year-old girl,” who happened to be an undercover detective; Austin allegedly knew of the “juvenile’s” age but continued to send messages.

OHIO

Michael Zacharias, a former priest was sentenced to life in prison on two counts and 20 years on three counts. A federal jury found him guilty of five counts of sex trafficking, some of which involved minors. Zacharias used his position as a priest at Saint Michael the Archangel Parish to target victims and coerce them into sex acts.

MISSISSIPPI

MICHIGAN

After he was convicted of assaulting young boys as a Little League coach in North Carolina, Jonathan Russell relocated to Saginaw Township, Michigan where he now faces charges for allegedly assaulting numerous children by exploiting his position at First Baptist Church of Bridgeport.

WISCONSIN

TEXAS

Corey White, a former youth pastor at Redeemer Midland, was arrested and charged with Access with Intent to View Child Sexual Abuse Materials.

And again, not one drag queen or gay person in the bunch, and two cases of child rape are in Don’t Say Gay and Ban Drag Sows Florida; makes one think Ronnie DeSantis is focusing on the wrong crowd in his state.

And it kinda makes it look like that whole GOP smear campaign about ‘gay people and drag queens are grooming children” is just a lie to cover-up for the real groomers … the so-called Men and Women of God.
