CHICAGO (STMW) – A federal judge has shot down former First Baptist Church of Hammond Pastor Jack Schaap’s motion to cut his 12-year prison sentence.

U.S. District Judge Rudy Lozano also denied Schaap’s request for a hearing on his motions and denied him a certificate to appeal to the 7th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals.

Schaap pleaded guilty in September 2012 to taking a 16-year-old parishioner, who was also a student at the church’s school and under Schaap’s care for counseling, across state lines for sex three times. Lozano sentenced him in March 2013 to 12 years in prison, two years more than the 10-year sentence that federal attorneys had agreed as part of his plea deal to recommend.

If it was my child, I would have wanted him hung.

That way he could never do it again.

I knew years ago because of his doctrine that something was very very wrong with him. A good deal of his doctrine was really un-Christian.

Crazy stuff like where he said that communion with Christ is like being intimate (like what a man and a woman do).

That is the one that threw me. This one is a sermon he did for teenage boys no less. This man is mental in my book.

After 8 paragraphs we are given enough information to deduce that the victim is female. Great journalism.

Yes, he was the son in law to Jack Hyles, and both Hyles and Hyle’s son were depraved!
