Lindsey Whiteside, 26, is the former youth minister at Getwell Church in Hernando, Mississippi. In 2024, she was arrested and charged with “sexual battery of a minor child by a person of trust or authority” after she groomed and had sex with a 14-year-old girl over a period of several months.
While prosecutors demanded 30 years, she only received three years of house arrest and seven years of probation, causing an uproar in the community over the light sentence. This also prompted district attorney Matthew Marton to rebuke the judge in the case while declaring:
“She used the gospel of Jesus Christ as a weapon. She used the vulnerabilities of a child who was going through personal struggles to gain access and manipulate an entire congregation. But even worse and more specifically she manipulated a family through an undeniable pattern of abuse that started with several months of grooming and then several months of prolonged and repeated sexual abuse in the worst type of manner.
… I sincerely believe that if this was perpetrated by a man against a young woman that we would have seen something akin to 20 years in prison. I think that she is a benefactor of a very wrong double standard in society.”
The victim and her family may get justice after all, however, as Whiteside was rearrested by federal authorities for transporting a minor across state lines to engage in sexual activity.
If found guilty, she could face a minimum of 10 years in prison and up to life.
This has to be a first, or at least that I know of.
This is just sick!
Isn't that the Church where Rev. Franklin Graham preaches?
Maybe not.
Line spoken by Jonathan Winter to the young man Robert Morse in The Loved One: "I think you should strongly consider going into nonsectarian ministry. There is a LOT of money in it."

,,, I think she should have her sentence reduced to one week - hung upside down in a dark cell with no drink or food... an ideal, significant cost saver over the long term.
THAT helps...
She should have gone into teaching and been celebrated by the left for grooming minors into homosexuality.
That’s a man, baby!
She was very likely molested as a child by another homosexual. A trait that is VERY prevalent in homosexual circles. And when they are adults, nearly all of them become pedophiles. It is in their nature.
She looks like a Putin relative who was given a job in his administration.
A Minister arrested for sex abuse... No shock here.
I believe the Church’s name is GetSatan Church.
“Judge Andrew Howorth, a retired Circuit Judge, sentenced her to 10 years under court supervision with no contact with the victim or her family. The first three years, she will be on house arrest.
The remaining seven years, she will be suspended on condition of house arrest, followed by five years of supervised probation and two years of unsupervised probation.”

Did the judge think it was hot? WTH was he thinking? He would have buried a man under the prison for the same offense.
Another predatory dyke.
