The investigation by two Texas newspapers found more than 700 victims of sexual misconduct by church leaders or volunteers. Locally, those included a Northern Kentucky asso- ciate minister who molested a 5-year-old girl in his care, as well as a Clermont County man who sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl. The Houston Chronicle and San Antonio Express- News compiled more than 380 cases over the last 20 years of church leaders and volunteers who have been charged with sex crimes.
Most are now in prison or are registered sex according to the report. Several past presidents and prominent Southern Baptist Convention leaders have been accused by vic- tims of concealing or mishandling abuse complaints within their churches or seminaries, the newspapers reported. The current ethics leader of the Southern Baptist Convention promised to encourage reforms that pro- tect children in response to the report. Russell Moore, who is the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission president, commended the work by the publications. report is alarming and scandalous, the cour- age and grace of these survivors is contrasted with the depravity of those who would use the name of Jesus to prey on Moore said in a Sunday blog post.
Southern Baptists are the largest Protestant de- nomination in the U.S. The Nashville-based conven- tion believes in local control of member churches. The investigation was spurred on by Southern Bap- tist Convention leaders unwillingness for more than a decade to create a list of sexual predators from ed churches, the news outlets said. Together, the news outlets created their own. The database showed two from Ohio, while Kentucky had six on the list.
Cincinnati area cases in summary Here are details about the cases with area ties: Charles Edward Engle, 54, of Williamsburg Town- ship in Clermont County, pleaded guilty two counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor and was sen- tenced in October 2013 to two years in prison. Engle was a youth minister at First Baptist Church in Mount Orab, Brown County, where he was accused of assaulting a 15-year-old, prosecutors said, at the youth ministry house. He was sentenced to two years in prison and required to register afterward as a sex in the state. Ohio Department of Cor- rections records show he was released Oct. 14, 2015.
In 2016, Joseph Niemeyer turned himself in to In- dependence police and admitted to molesting a young girl in his care. Niemeyer worked with youth at the Banklick Baptist Church in Walton until he was arrest- ed. He also volunteered at Twenhofel Middle School. He was convicted of sodomy and sexual abuse of a child and sentenced to 20 years, and he is in prison in Beattyville, Kentucky. John Diehl was the associate pastor of Admini- stration at Piner Baptist Church in Morningview from 2004 until 2010 when he was arrested on sodomy and incest charges for abusing children in his care.
He pleaded guilty and served eight years in prison. Diehl was paroled in January 2018 but is listed on the Kentucky sex registry and was ordered to have no contact with the children. Diehl now lives in West Virginia and is on the sex registry there. A federal judge in Covington sentenced a Floyd County pastor in October 2018 to 10 years in prison for distributing images online of a child engaged in sexu- ally explicit conduct. David Glenn Boyd, 54, was pleaded guilty to the charge before Judge Karen Caldwell in the Eastern Dis- trict of Kentucky in March 2018.
A charge of possess- ing the material was dismissed. Kentucky State Police investigated the CyberTi- pline report in October 2016 about the incident. A state police investigator obtained a search warrant for residence in Wheelwright, Kentucky, and Boyd showed up during the search, court records show. Po- lice collected electronic media and found 42 still images and 35 videos that met the federal tion of child p*rnography. Court records state that Boyd admitted knew the images he received, pos- sessed and distributed through the use of his comput- er depicted expected release date is Aug.
21, 2026, and he is expected to register as a sex as a condi- tion of supervised release. Southern Baptist ethics leader seeks change In blog about the investigation, he did not call for mandatory reforms at every church. He said that the convention would work with cooperating churches and the scandal should be handled as a not as a corporation. approach is seeking to encourage policies and practices that protect children and the vulnerable from sexual abuse in autonomous but cooperating churches, all the while promoting compliance with laws and providing compassionate care for those who have survived Moore said in the blog post. we have no bishops.
But we have a priest- hood of believers. And a key task of that priesthood is maintaining the witness of Christ in the holiness and safety of his church. That means training churches to recognize sexual predation and how to deal with charges or suspicions when they emerge, and equip- ping churches to stop the pattern, in their church or from their church to church should be frustrated by the Houston reporting, but should thank God for Moore said. Judgment Seat of Christ will be far less reticent than a newspaper series to uncover what should never have been hidden. The Nashville Tennessean contributed.
