Mark Aderholt was a Southern Baptist leader who was charged with the sexual assault of a teenager more than a decade after she reported it to church authorities. They investigated and wrote her a letter confirming their investigation suggested the abuse occurred. They did not report it to authorities. Aderhold pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and placed on deferred adjudication, which is like probation, but will allow him to have his conviction erased.
