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.

He is alleged to have met a 15-year-old girl at church camp when he was 22. She was flattered by the attention and thought his position made him a safe person. He asked her out and began having sex with her even though she was under the age of consent and his pastoral position gave him undue power. That makes their “relationship” rape.
