I had this happen when I was 23 by a pastor in Manor, Tx. I just quietly left the church. He’s passed now. But this is real evil. I’m sorry it happened to you. I think it happens a lot more than it should.

I'm so sorry you went through that. :( It happens all the time and it's always evil.

Thank you for sharing. It is especially sad that the state of Texas lawyers didn't think this would get prosecuted. That is shocking and speaks loudly of the male dominated culture in Texas.
