以前性侵的牧師或神職人員都是有點年紀的
最近的新聞看到的是牧師和神職人員年輕化
他們發生的比例也蠻高的
不知到基督教發生什麼事情
是因為神愛世人嗎?
牧師和神職人員 雞督來愛世人

Lakeland, Florida -- A former youth minister at a Lakeland church has been
arrested for allegedly having sex with a 15-year-old girl sometime between
November of last year and January.
On Monday, the pastor of Mt. Tabor Baptist Church told Polk Sheriff's
detectives a church member told him that Phillip Kendrick II had sex with a
young church member he'd met four years ago at the church.
"I never believed something like this would ever happen," said Pastor Matt
Gilmore. "We're saddened, shocked and we're providing care to both his family
and to the victim and her family as well."
Pastor Gilmore says they have 80 to 100 members at the church. He says he's
known Kendrick for 11 years and served with him at two different churches,
but not now.
"He'd never been in trouble before - never been in trouble with the law
before," he says. "People fail everywhere whether it's the church or whether
it's over at Burger King or anywhere else, but there are always people who do
wrong," he adds. "We do our very best to protect the children that we have.
When he left in October we had no idea that anything was going on."
During the investigation, detectives learned the girl met Kendrick when he
was a youth minister approximately four years ago while attending a youth
group at the church.
In an interview with deputies, the girl said she viewed Kendrick as a trusted
source of support. Over the course of four years, she told deputies that the
relationship between the two turned from a ministerial relationship to more
of a personal friendship.
In October 2014, Kendrick reportedly told her he had "strong feelings" for
her.
From interviews with the girl and Kendrick, detectives learned they had
sexual contact with each other on three occasions. Kendrick also sent
pictures of his penis to the girl, and she sent naked images of herself to
him. Both the girl and Kendrick said the sex was consensual.
Gilmore says Kendrick has not been working at the church as a youth minister
since October 2014.
"Nothing happened on this church campus nor did it happen while he was the
young minister of our church. This happened after he left here."
Gilmore says he's ministering a message of restoration and forgiveness to
those involved.
"This will hurt, but we're going to continue to provide care to all those
affected," he says.
Kendrick has been charged with three counts of lewd battery, one count of
transmitting material harmful to a minor, and one count of the use of a
two-way communications device to commit felony. He is currently being held
without bond.
