EXCLUSIVE: 'He asked to marry me when I was 11': Now three women come forward to accuse SON of pervert Indiana pastor who 'groomed 16-year-old girl for sex' of assaulting them when they were children

Three women have claimed they were abused by the son of an Indiana pastor who was ousted after being accused of grooming a 16-year-old girl for sex more than two decades ago.

Two of the alleged victims accused Jeremiah Lowe, 39, of molesting them when they were youngsters.

One alleged he fondled her breasts when she was just 11 - and he was 18 - and another claimed he molested her when she was a little girl while he was babysitting her in the 2000s.

Lowe's ex-wife, Abbey Plummer, claims he forced her to have sex with him, choked and beat her, and verbally abused her during their turbulent marriage.

She also accused him of rubbing her face in dog urine and of threatening to 'put [her] head through the f***ing windscreen' on one occasion while they were driving.

It comes after Lowe's father John Lowe II, 65, was forced to step down from New Life Christian Church in Warsaw in May after admitting he had previously had an affair with a 16-year-old girl to his congregation.

The girl - Bobi Gephart, who is now 43 - stormed on to the stage during a service, grabbed a microphone and claimed he groomed her as a teenager, took her virginity and sexually abused her.

As Indiana State Police opened an investigation into her claims, other alleged victims told DailyMail.com of accusations against John, his former co-pastor wife Debra Lowe, and Jeremiah.

Dawson Speaks was correct. Some people are in the church as leaders who just should not be.

One of my stepbrothers was molested by his youth pastor (Granada Presbyterian in Coral Gables).

He’s dead now of a fentanyl overdose and a years long opiods habit.

“Pastor hunting today?”

If the pastor in question needs to answer to the law then so be it. An ordination is not a pass for committing crimes against children.

Not all who attend church are Christ followers. Attendance at church does not mean salvation applies.

It’s a problem with ANY organization which has positions which exercise power over vulnerable people: those positions attract the kind of person who lusts after control over others.

The girl - Bobi Gephart, who is now 43

It's a MIRACLE that she's finally learned to speak after all these years.

Just noticed both pastor articles plus another article you just posted are all from dailmail.uk. I thought you were doing a web search for pastor _______. but it seems you’re just perusing dm/uk. My bad.

The churches in America are filled with narcissistic leaders that have a god- complex and lust problem. Paul warned in the Bible about sexual immorality but yet that message today seems to be watered down and a warning for non christians. The church needs to clean house and first tell the men to clean their minds and turn away from porn or anything they turn into porn with their thoughts.

Evil is in every heart. Who is telling the truth, who is lying. It is the mess of evil.

“Who is telling the truth, who is lying.”


Given that the pastor had an affair with a 16 year old girl in his congregation, he’s the liar until proven otherwise.

Well the good news is that being good protestants, John Lowe II and his son Jereminah Lowe are both automatically “saved” by virtue of simply having “accepted Jesus” years ago. Guaranteed ticket to the heaven! No need for either of ‘em to do any “unbiblical” stuff like actually confess their sins to others and seek forgiveness.

Well, I once asked a kindergartner to marry me.

But I was also a kindergartner at the time... I just liked her and thought we might as well get it out of the way.

Exactly.

I would think that a church should have a “board of elders” or some such: respected church members, elected by the congregation, whose job is to be alert for malfeasance by the pastor, whether sexual or financial.
