Nothing happened, this woman was not abused. All young men have incredibly powerful sexual urges. This guy almost succumbed but didn’t. This is not a news story. We must insist that all people are held to the same standards. Do not allow the media to hold Christians to a higher standard than others.
“This guy almost succumbed but didn’t.”

Seems it was more the 17 year old girl who was forced to ‘succumb’ to him:
“Last month, Savage told his congregation the story that launched an investigation at Highpoint as well as Savage’s leave of absence. In 1998, Savage was a 22-year-old youth pastor in Texas, and he sexually coerced a 17-year-old girl, Jules Woodson. When Woodson told another pastor about what happened, she said the church asked her to be silent.”

Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his. savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good. for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
Just for the record: say there’s a minor in relation to whom you in a position of special influence or authority (ministry). Say you take her at night to a deserted wooded area to perform oral sex on you. Is that “almost” succumbing?
Oh?
Shall we start with Scripture?
Titus 6 if anyone is above reproach, the husband of one wife, and his children are believers and not open to the charge of debauchery or insubordination. 7 For an overseer, as God's steward, must be above reproach.
Sounds like you read your Bible with an Exacto knife to cut out those pesky moral imperatives.
A quick guess - you subscribe to that antinomian New Covenant Theology error.
