She mentioned that the pastor would compliment her daughter, expressing his love for her and wanting to be with her. He even requested inappropriate photos.
The mom expressed her deep disappointment and anger, saying, “I trusted him, my kids trusted him. I brought him into our home, and when I learned about the things he had been doing, I was devastated. It continued until my daughter couldn’t bear it anymore, and she bravely shared her traumatic experiences with that man.
