Everything You Need to Know about “American Evangelicalism’s Biggest Sex Scandal to Date”

The 46 page “Second Amended Class Action Complaint and Jury Demand” against Sovereign Grace Ministries and other Defendants was filed on Tuesday.  It contains 218 horrific complaints.  I am currently working on a post that will cover the latest developments but before I post the new material, I want to encourage everyone to go back and review the old material. 

It has been exactly seven months since the original complaint was filed.  I’ve been covering developments every step of the way and doing all I can to alert leaders in the Body of Christ so they can benefit and take the action needed to stop pedophiles and protect families in their churches, institutions, and ministries.  

I am constantly contacted for information.  I’ve put together this overview so people can have a comprehensive knowledge of all that has transpired over the past seven months.  It is a short book but one that needs reading.  I agree with radio talk show host, Janet Mefferd, when she says this is “America Evangelicalism’s biggest sex scandal to date.” 

The following is presented in chronological order.

Breaking News! Seconded Amended Lawsuit Filed Today.

The Second Amended Lawsuit was filed today in the Montgomery County Circuit Court, Maryland.  It is available on this website by clicking on “SGM Lawsuit / Class Action Lawsuit.”  A link is provided. 

The original Class Action Lawsuit was filed on Oct 17, 2012.  It named three plaintiffs and nine defendants.  The First Amended Lawsuit was filed on Jan 11, 2013.  It named eight plaintiffs and 14 defendants.  The Second Amended Lawsuit names 11 plaintiffs and the defendants remain at 14.  Some of the pseudonymous plaintiffs are now using their proper names. 

I will begin working on a post tomorrow.  The lawyers for SGM have been roundly dismissing the class action lawsuit for a lack of details.  No longer!  This amendment provides great detail.  All horrific.   

It is no wonder SGM and the other Defendants are doing all in their power to hide behind the First Amendment.  From my perspective, they are doomed if it goes before a jury.  I can’t imagine the Judge dismissing most of the complaints.  Most of the lawsuit will proceed.  Furthermore, a lot of people are now under criminal investigation.
