ahhhh God's country....AAHAHAHAHHAHAA And for those keeping track, all this in just the past week here in 'God's country': - "Baptist Pastor Gordon Lunceford stands accused of six counts of 3rd degree rapes, one count of first degree sexual abuse, five counts of third degree sodomy, and one count of second degree sexual abuse. The victims were two children. Pastor Lunceford has been a serial youth pastor for a long time. Moving from church to church and job to job as the years rolled by. The current charges stem early 1990s. How many other victims are there?" - It must be like shooting fish in a barrel. Pastor Vaughn Reeves and his sons were retuned to Indiana by U.S. Marshals to faces charges of security fraud...The men are accused of duping about 11,000 church members into buying bonds worth $120 million by urging them to fulfill their "Christian responsibility" to support church construction projects...diverting money from new investments to pay off prior investors in a Ponzi scheme and pocketing about $6 million. - A former minister and music teacher who pleaded guilty to molesting three boys at churches in San Diego and Riverside counties has been sentenced to prison...Jimmie Robinson Jr. of Los Angeles received a 17-year sentence... - Another Texas pastor is heading to prison, this time the pastor had a problem with child pornography. He's been given a stiff penalty for his crime; 17 years in prison... - In Knoxville Kentucky a child was allegedly raped by a Christian youth volunteer who worked for New Beverly Baptist Church...Randall Thomas Hollifield, 45, of Powell was taken into custody tonight... - Christian coach gets 20 months...The pastor is often the abuser, but sometimes it is the teacher or coach as well. The common characteristics are religious authority, direct access to children, and insufficient direct oversight. It is a formula I see over and over again. Andrew Scot Bolsinger knows the formula well. He used it to sexually assault a young girl in his care at a Salem-area Christian academy. - Jonathan Tyler Giles, the former youth minister at Spring Creek Baptist Church, has been charged with three counts of statutory rape by an authority figure, sexual battery by an authority figure and two counts of soliciting a minor... - Justice finally caught up with Russell J. Lesser of Bryson City, N.C. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison for sexually assaulting a female child in the mid 1970s... - A local priest is in legal trouble after he's accused of exposing himself while driving on a local highway. Rev. Donald Snyder, 63, is charged with one count of indecent exposure...
