The girls cannot bounce back so easily. They were not only violated they lost a set of grandparents in the process who chose to side with the perp who has now plead guilty.
This is not the first of this kind of thing in Pentecost. I know first hand of another situation involving famous Pentecostal names and remarriage to a sexual perp and the perp is a major member of a big Pentecostal church and is used in a leadership role by a Pastor I highly respect. I would like to think the pastor does not know the man's history but I have a hard time believing that. This is a situation involving a repeat offender who even if you believed his sins were under the blood once again you would not allow to be in leadership in the role this guy was in.
