Mack Charles Andrews was the pastor of the United Pentecostal Church in Thomasville, Alabama. I confess what this man did has haunted me. He is extraordinarily evil. He raped several children. And now a content warning, do not go further if details of abuse sicken or trigger you. This is one of the most evil of all the predators I have written about.
Because I don’t want anyone to accidentally see what he did to one poor child, I will set it in white text on the white page so you cannot accidentally see and must highlight the text. I’m sorry if that seems excessive, but I wish I had never read it myself.
“Jane” was seven years old when Andrews began “grooming” her and sodomizing her with objects. When she was nine, he raped her on her father’s grave. He said he would put flowers on her grave if she told.
Jane was not the only victim. Several other children came forward with similar allegations. Andrews’ own daughter claimed she witnessed his abuse. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to fifteen years but was released after just five years because he claims he made the plea agreement when his diabetes was out of control. Diabetes! He is not even on parole though he must register as a sex offender.
Reportedly he has moved to Texas to start a church there.
