Daniel Montague Acker, Jr. was a youth pastor and an elementary school teacher. In 1993, he was accused of molesting one of his fourth-grade students but the grand jury did not indict him. While the school was considering termination, he was named Creek View Elementary’s Teacher of the Year. First Baptist Church in Pelham even hosted a fundraiser for him. Meanwhile, the fourth-grader was ostracized while the community rallied for Acker. Acker was so unrepentant as to put the question, “What color are Kristin’s panties?” on a test.

Randy Kaufman was a GOP candidate for the Maricopa County Community College Governing Board. He is also an election-denying Trump supporter. He claimed he was running to make sure “our children are protected [from] the progressive left.” He suspended his campaign after he was arrested while masturbating in a parking lot near a preschool and childcare center however, he remained on the ballot because he did not file a withdrawal. He was cited for sexual indecency. He lost.

He also won despite two fellow Republican women coming forward to allege sexual misconduct by Morales including forcible kissing. Both women went to Republican Party leadership hoping to deal with it privately to protect the party’s reputation, but the leaders did nothing which is why they went public.

Trafficking? That he doesn’t care about despite asking for more money to fight trafficking. He created a new trafficking unit, but it’s not clear what it does. He did not get a single conviction in 2020 and only four in 2021. No wonder Texas is second in the nation for most reported trafficking cases. At least fourteen employees in the trafficking division left, frustrated at mismanagement

856: Billy James Hargis

As president of American Christian College, he used his power to have sex with college students. Although they were the age of consent, (one was sixteen) they were not in a position to refuse the college president. His position of authority made this statutory rape.

Among the more outlandish events is the story of two students who got married. Hargis performed the ceremony. On their honeymoon, they learned Hargis had slept with both of them.

Elijah Schaffer is a podcaster who was fired by Glenn Beck’s The Blaze for sexually assaulting a co-worker. Allegedly, he groped her breasts at a film premiere. They did an internal investigation that sustained her allegation and fired him. A second woman, a former employee, sued Blaze, alleging they knew of Schaffer’s behavior but retaliated by firing her when she complained.

He was arrested for soliciting a minor, caught in an online sting. He chatted with a police officer posing as a 15-year-old girl. He was told to turn himself in and he did. This was his second arrest as the first time the charges were dismissed. He was sentenced to five and half years in 2011 but paroled in 2014.

Doug Wilson is the leader of a reactionary religious movement and the pastor of Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho. He preaches that men dominate and women submit. Rape and child molestation is not reported to authorities. Women who are abused by their husbands are put into “church discipline” and Wilson argues men cannot rape their wives because he can’t trespass in his own garden.
