Daryl Stagg
Daryl Stagg, a powerful Baptist leader,
was the Associational Mission Strategist at Big Creek Baptist Association and CenLa Baptist Association, representing 87 Baptist churches.
He was arrested in June 2023, charged with twelve felonies in Grant Parish, Louisiana. The charges are three counts each of oral sexual battery, first degree rape, aggravated crimes against nature, and indecent behavior with juveniles. He is held on $950,000 bond.
However, if he makes bond, then he will be sent to Union Parish where he faces four felony counts, one each of the charges above. He will have to make bail there as well.
The Grant Parish Sheriff solicited more victims, tell them they are safe now that Stagg is off the street and they can come forward. Investigations began in Wisconsin where Stagg served in the past.
One victim was identified in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

any updates on this case?
There probably are updates in terms of court filings and hearings, but they haven’t made the news. It costs $100/month to monitor criminal cases in Grant Parish. Just that one parish. Louisiana’s clerks of court use their position to force people to pay extortionate sums for public information. It’s a disgrace. But Louisiana seems to take pride in having incompetent government service.
