Here’s an egregious example<\/a> of something I’ve pointed-out ad nauseum<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\n

A child sex abuse victim says she\u2019s been denied housing<\/span> after accusing a \u201cgood man\u201d of molesting her for years \u2014 and Missouri prosecutors are mystified that so many community members are supporting the admitted sex offender<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Darren Paden was sentenced to 50 years in prison Friday after pleading guilty<\/span> in August to two counts of first-degree statutory sodomy \u2014 but friends, family members, church elders and community leaders begged a judge to go easy on him<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors said the 52-year-old Paden sexually abused the girl up to 300 times over a decade, beginning before she was 5 years old<\/span>. His 28-year-old son, Anthony Paden, was also charged with sex abuse, although his case remains pending.<\/p>\n

But community members have turned their backs<\/span> on the girl, who is now 18<\/span> years old and testified against her abuser in court …<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Paden was a deacon at his church.<\/p>\n

This is not a freak, one-off perversity. Ask any journalist, any lawyer, any doctor, any social worker, any police officer, any religious activist, anybody with first-hand knowledge of these cases, and without exception they will tell you the exact same thing: Congregations all-but-invariably rally to support of the offender and re-victimize his victim.<\/p>\n

That is who is sitting in church, and the best thing you can do for your children is keep them away from those debased slavish freaks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
