Pastor's daughter speaks out after being 'sexually abused by him for years'
Daily Mail UK ^ | September 29, 2024 | Dominic Yeatman

A pastor's daughter thought she had escaped a childhood of sexual abuse by moving out and getting married only to see her father break into her house and sodomize her weeks after she had a baby.

Bertheophilus 'Judge' Bailey, a respected minister at St Andrew Christian Church in Tulsa began abusing Harmony Oates when she was in sixth grade, court documents claim.

He told his daughter he was her 'boyfriend' and that the little girl would unleash a 'total catastrophe to the whole kingdom of God' if she ever revealed what he was doing to her.

But he was arrested on Wednesday and charged with rape, child sexual abuse, incest, forcible sodomy and burglary, after the 22-year-old decided she had spent too long 'in the shadows'.

'He left me broken, shattered, a shell of the person I could have been,' she wrote on Facebook. 'And yet, I refuse to let him define me.'

Bailey, 45, had seen felony charges of lewd molestation against him dropped by the time he turned his attention to his daughter in 2012.

And in 2013 he admitted a separate charge of child abuse by injury against another of his children.

'He would pray over me at first but he would do a lot of touching while he was praying,' Oates told kjrh.com.

'I knew how to set a boundary but when he's your father and when he's a pastor and when he has this authority and he has a record, it's like you say no, but what does your no mean?'

Clerics are #2 after teachers on the Pedophile Professions hit parade, but then teachers don’t claim to be God’s representative on earth.

Sad. But when was the last time the Daily Mail wrote an article about the epidemic of pedos and perverts coming out of the Catholic Church worldwide? Huh?
