A social worker was sent to do an interview but she did not cooperate. That was when he began to molest her. This continued for five years until she was 19.

I agree … this is tragic to victims and heartbreaking. Cases needed to be investigated.

Churches are struggling to keep doors open. How are we to evangelize and bring people to Christ?”
