People get very attached to pastors, and will dig in to support them, regardless of the behavior.
Go Vols
Exactly!!!!!!!
But a judge cited his longtime ministry and the support he still receives as mitigating factors after more than 30 people showed up to support Richards at the sentencing last week.
—
What kind of idiotic reason is THAT to reduce his sentence? The fact that he was able to lie to people for a longtime? That he found 30 idiots to support him? What does this judge use for brains besides shit?
I wonder what the Jury saw to convince them? I couldn't convict just based solely on what was presented in the article. What I would be expecting to see is some sort of DNA evidence, or recording, or witness, or something.
I suggest hanging the fellow by his testicles, over a very long drop, until he either has a very long fall - or simply stops breathing. Either solution would work for me.
Pastors, teachers or any other authority figure doing something this dastardly deserve the same fate.
Sole guardian.
Trusted....
Hang him.
I would ask worse.
Smh
nobody from the church showed up to support the VICTIM? Seriously? What ‘church’ was this?
I’m going to ask what sort of problem this story poses for the left in this country because our media aren’t reporting it, we have to hear it from the UK Daily Mail.
I’m not seeing it. This looks tailor made for MSM demagoguery.
Children lie. We have forgotten the lessons of Salem. Adopted, 14 years old, rebellious age in the best of circumstances, there could be a whole lot of secondary gain here. I am really not buying this but then again I seldom do, unless the young woman is weeping and bleeding in the emergency room with a positive kit.
I have a friend whose husband beat her and slept around. As a Christian, she didn’t believe in divorce, but knew she had biblical grounds, and did divorce him. The elders (all male) at the church they attended, came to her house, and excommunicated HER. She was at work one day, and he came in with a gun, and tried to shoot her. She began to pray. The gun jammed. He seemed puzzled, and turned the gun on himself. That time, it fired! He’s dead. She’s alive.
Some churches believe men over women.
What kind of a Bible study is he going to teach in prison?
Judge is a Pedo as well
May he be Bubba’s bitch for about a year and then, well, shanks for the memories.
There is probably more to the story. Something tells me that the evidence wasn’t particularly strong and that the judge may have given a more lenient sentence as a result. Alternatively, this May not have been this 14-year-old’s first rodeo and perhaps the judge believed that she seduced him. Whatever the reason there has to be more to the story.
