Exposing the Corruption of the "Family Values" Party
Monte LaVelle Chitty was the pastor of the First Baptist Church in Marathon, Florida. He had ministered in churches in 25 other states. In early March, he was arrested for drugging and sexually assaulting a minor. He was released on $75,000 bond and skipped town.
He lost his job on the Claremont police force after he was investigated for an inappropriate relastionship with a sixteen-year-old girl that started when she was fifteen. He had been seeing the girl for months, claiming she was a drug informant, though he never provided any information from her. While there is no evidence of him molesting her, the girl said they were planning to have sex when she turned seventeen. He was ordered not to contact her, but ignored the order. He was suspended.
Jeffrey Duncan was the Assistant Pastor at Mount Calvary Lutheran church in Omaha. He was removed from the roster as noted here. Strangely, they did not mention that he had been arrested, charged with sexually assaulting a minor child.
Marvin Leroy Mosley was the pastor of the Lehighton God’s Missionary Church, a conservative evangelical denomination. In 2003, he became pastor of God’s Missionary Church in Penns Creek. There was no parsonage, so a local family invited Mosley and his wife to live with them.
He repaid their generosity by sexually assaulting their grandaughter from the time she was seven until she was about fifteen. He then moved on to her younger sister and after her, her youngest sister. He assaulted the three sisters over the course of fifteen years.
William Keith Dodd was the lead pastor at Lewark Church of God in Coffeyville, Kansas. The church had a website, but it has been removed.
In September, 2023, Dodd was arrested and charged with two counts of rape of a child younger than fourteen.
Les Stapleton was the Mayor of Prestonburg and planned to run for State Senate in the Republican primary on May 21, 2024, but he withdrew from the race in January. However, he was sued for sexual harassment and assault by a city employee. A few hours after the lawsuit was filed Stapleton resigned as Mayor. He claims the lawsuit had nothing to do with it, rather he claimed he resigned due to the injuries he suffered from a fall from a roof.
Dennis Coggins is the Mayor of Hoxie, Arkansas. He is embroiled in several lawsuits and the council is seeking his recall for ignoring FOIA requests and other malfeasance.
He also was sued for sexual harassment under the Fair Housing Act by a woman who rents from him.
Dan Rodimer was a Trump-endorsed Congressional candidate in 2020. In 2021, he ran in a special election Republican primary in Texas and got 3% of the vote. He also lost his 2018 race for the Nevada State Senate. He is a former professional wrestler with a history of at least three violent incidents, all at restaurants or clubs. He pled guilty to a misdemeanour on one of those cases and took anger management classes. They seem not to have worked as he got into another altercation on Oct 29, 2023. This time the person he is alleged to have attacked died from blunt force trauma.
Christopher J. Ballard was a teacher at Journey Academy, a Christian school in Centennial, Colorado. He was arrested in early March 2024 after the director of the Academy went to police alleging a child was sexually assaulted on May 2nd, that children were forced to watch Child Sexual Abuse Material, and that children were forced to run naked as punishment.
Paul Rytting is the Director of Risk Management at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He’s very good at protecting the Church from accountability for its bishops and leadership sexually abusing children.
