I have to repeat what you wrote:

Regardless, the pastor should be presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Accusations of sexual abuse are odd -- people almost always assume that the person is guilty. My uncle was accused of sexual abuse by his daughter's school psychiatrist. Turns out it wasn't true, though his reputation was tarnished.

Let's assume that people are innocent, especially when it's something so heinous as this, and when there are only accusations and no knowledge of real evidence. This wouldn't be the first situation where a girl makes something up to hurt someone she hates....

“Regardless, the pastor should be presumed innocent until proven guilty. “

That’s only in court. If a man walks up and shoots you, you do not have to assume he is innocent of the crime.
