All the God lovers do these days is fuck children.



But we give pedophile Christian clergy a pass because they're mostly white 
males who are Christian, just like the politicians we elect in the red 
states.   Besides, right wing red state trump supporting politicians who 
haven't felt a Minister's dick in their ass or mouth in their younger days 
are as rare as flying snapping Turtles.

"Some estimates exist on the total instances of sexual abuse within 
Protestant Christian churches. One estimate comes from three of the largest 
faith-based insurance companies that insure nearly 160,000 churches. These 
three faith-based insurance companies reported 7,095 insurance claims of 
sexual abuse by clerical members, church employees, congregation members, 
or others involved within these settings from 1987 to 2007 (The Associated 
Press, 2007). These reports indicate an average of 260 claims of sexual 
abuse per year. In addition, Denney, Kerley, and Gross (2018) published one 
of the first empirical studies on sexual abuse in the U.S. within 
Protestant Christian settings that examined news articles reporting on 
arrests involving sexual abuse, finding 326 total cases reported from 1999 
to 2014. Most recently, the Houston Chronicle published a series titled 
"Abuse of Faith," uncovering sexual abuse and cover-up within the largest 
Protestant Christian organization in the U.S. (i.e., the SBC). They 
identified 380 sexual abusers and 700 alleged victims over 20 years 
(Downen, Olsen, & Tedesco, 2019). Moreover, Downen et al. (2019) found that 
35 Southern Baptist ministers were hired at churches, despite being accused 
of sexual misconduct or abuse, demonstrating a pattern of institutional 
issues in responding to alleged sexual abuse.

It is clear that sexual abuse occurs within these organizations, thus 
underscoring the importance of examining sexual victimization and related 
contextual characteristics, such as offender types, that arise within this 
setting. The need to further understand sexual abuse within this setting is 
imperative since the impacts of sexual victimization are so severe. Effects 
of sexual victimization include, but are not limited to, depression, 
suicide/suicidal thoughts, substance use/abuse, posttraumatic stress 
disorder (PTSD), eating disorder(s), and more (Bensley, Van Eenwyk, & 
Simmons, 2000; Beitchman et al., 1992; Briere & Runtz, 1988; Dube et al., 
2005; Gold, 1986; Kendall-Tackett, Williams, & Finkelhor, 1993; MacMillan & 
Munn, 2001; Najdowski & Ullman, 2009; Rossow & Lauritzen, 2001; Simpson & 
Miller, 2002).

There can also be impacts on church attendance and membership. For example, 
a study conducted in Germany found that Roman Catholic sexual abuse 
scandals also led to increased numbers of individuals leaving Protestant 
Churches (Frick, Simmons, & Moster, 2021). There appears to be a 
relationship between sexual abuse issues and decreased membership in the 
U.S. as well. LifeWay Christian Resource -- a research arm of the SBC -- 
found in a 2019 survey that 10% of American Protestants (35 and under) have 
left the church at some point due to issues related to sexual misconduct 
and abuse not being addressed (Earls, 2019). Unaddressed sexual abuse 
issues within these settings have devastating consequences for victims and 
congregations alike. This study will provide a typology of offenders that 
commit sexual abuse at or through activities provided by U.S. Protestant 
Christian churches to assist in the discovery, investigation, and 
prevention of sexual abuses that occur within these settings. "
