Exposing the Corruption of the "Family Values" Party
John C. Sapp was a youth pastor at the conservative Maranatha Fellowship church in Dover, Delaware. They ascribe to the anti-gay, anti-choice Conservative Mennonite Statement of Practice. In February, 2020, he confessed that he was raping a minor in the congregation. But only because she had told someone about it.
Ciro Adams, a former member of the Wilmington, Delaware, City Council and the City of Wilmington were sued by a former employee who claimed he sexually and racially harassed her at a social event. She was so disturbed by the interaction, she took Family Medical Leave Act time off. When she returned to work, she was, she claimed, retaliated against for filing a complaint about Adams’ behavior. The suit claims an internal investigation found Adams engaged in inappropriate conduct. She was suspended from work after posting religious content on their twitter account, a move she said was disproportionate to what she did and retaliatory in nature.
