SCURRY, Texas — A Kaufman County Mennonite church leader has been sentenced to life in prison following his conviction for continuous sexual assault of a child under the age of 14 in Kaufman County, according to District Attorney Erleigh Wiley.
Prosecutors say 51-year-old Stanley Gerald Champ of Scurry, Texas, led the Grays Prairie Mennonite Church in the 12000 block of Farm-to-Market (FM) 148 where he met his latest victim — a four-year-old girl.
Yesterday, following a three-day trial before 86th District Court Judge Casey Blair, the jury returned a guilty verdict on the charge of continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14 in approximately an hour of deliberation.
According to testimony heard at trial, Champ met his victim at the age of 4 when her family moved to the community to join the Gray's Prairie Mennonite Church congregation. Witnesses testified the victim was abused from the age of 5 to 9 years old. Additionally, jurors heard testimony of Champ's abuse of other prior victims who were all minor children at the time of their abuse.
The sentencing phase of the trial was held Thursday morning, September 1, 2022.
"At the conclusion of the testimony, jurors responded with a swift and appropriate verdict of life imprisonment," read a statement from the district attorney's office.
"No one is above the law," stated Kaufman County District Attorney Erleigh Wiley following sentencing. Wiley thanked the Kaufman County Sheriff's Office and the New Holland Pennsylvania Police Department for their investigative work and, most importantly she says, the "victims who so bravely told their story."

But I think 4 is when the sex abuser met the kid, not necessarily when the sex abuse started.
Seriously hemp therapy is the only thing that can cure this behavior.
Read the article. He met her at 4 the abuse began at age 5. So he still beat Mohammad by one year.
And Schicklgroper by 6, but in his case it was his own daughter.
In a sane world this guy would be a cellie with Joe Biden
This is a horrible story. It’s a good sentence. And remember, Joe and Hunter Biden walk free.
If the picture at the site is him he looks like a creepy dude
He started when the child was 5. Others testified against him so he did more than one
Where the hell were the parents?
The evil Mr Rogers.
Our society is RIDDLED with Pedophiles from the TOP to the BOTTOM and everywhere in between.
It’s getting worse every day.
Have they always been here or has internet porn somehow creates these monsters?
“Have they always been here or has internet porn somehow creates these monsters?”
Both.
Ten years ago? When that Chris Hanson Dateline show came out? I realized then we had a serious problem. They have always been here just the internet made them more brazen.
Until recently too they only got jail terms of like 6 to 8 years and hardly served that. Now looks like things are changing.
This does not sound like the Mennonite church I grew up in. The ministers were pretty on the level.
Here’s the answer. There is MUCH more of it now.....Why?
Because corruption worsens. It used to be porn, then sexual deviancy, then gender queer...corruption gets more corrupt, and perversion more perverse it’s like death and hunger, it is never satisfied.
The more a civilization allows, the further it goes.
Remember back in the day about the Gays? Just leave us alone in our bedroom, turned into PRIDE then Marriage, then you are a bigot if you don’t celebrate them?
Read Romans 1:18 - 32. Read it even if you are NOT a believer...it will show you WHY this happens
I am a believer. Good post and I agree.
