Married Preacher Raped Two Girls in His Church and Also Had Child Sexual Abuse (Porn) Collection- Some of it obtained by placing hidden cameras in church bathroom
I think I’ve long since given up on my parent’s idea that the way to meet a decent, kind, stand-up man to marry is at a church. (It’s a bit of a problem anyhow, since a lot of single men between the ages of 25 and 75 don’t attend churches much.)
I do not blog about every single story that I see come through my Twitter feed about Christian men (some who work as preachers) who are arrested for fondling teens, raping children, soliciting sex from minors, or having child sex abuse (aka child porn) collections.
If all I did was blog about those kind of stories, I would be on this blog 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It would be difficult for me to keep up with them all. (This blog post you see here, of this preacher who raped girls at his church, is the 3rd or 4th such story I’ve seen like this come through Twitter this week alone. And I saw a few similar stories last week and the week before.)
Not only is a guy saying he’s a Christian not a guarantee he is quality material, but this deviant guy is MARRIED.
A lot of Christians promote this untrue idea that being married is necessary to make a person fully mature, godly, and responsible. Obviously, being married does not make everyone mature and godly, because I have numerous stories like this one of married men who are guilty of raping children.
And obviously, a person does not have to reach some level of godliness or perfection – as some Christians teach – before they can land or earn a spouse on their own merit or from God. This guy is as imperfect and twisted as they come, yet he was married! God did not keep this man from getting a spouse and marrying.
So please, Christians out there, please stop advising adult singles – as some of you do – that if they are still single, it’s because God is “working on them,” God is trying to “clean them up to make them marriage material,” or they have to work on themselves to remove flaws or sins from their own life.
I am hard pressed to think of anyone more flawed and sick than a child rapist or an animal abuser, but it’s a fact that some stories you see in the news of child rapists and animal abusers are also married. It’s not a bunch of never-married adults out there raping children or harming animals.

A disgraced Arkansas pastor who was charged with the rape of two girls after his wife discovered his shocking collection of child pornography on their laptop, will serve two life sentences in prison.
-
Anthony Waller, 39, was given no chance of parole after pleading guilty to two counts of rape on Tuesday, according to the Jonesboro Sun.
-
The former children’s pastor committed the offences while an employee at the First Assembly of God Church in Jonesboro, Arkansas, about 70 miles north-west of Memphis, Tennessee.
-
The court heard Waller raped the girls in the bathroom of the church and at other locations.
-
In addition to the rape charges, Waller still faces 50 counts of video voyeurism and one count of child pornography.
-
Waller began working at the church in 1999, but his crimes were only discovered when his wife Angela found disturbing images of young girls on a computer they shared.
-
After confronting her husband over what she had found, Mrs Waller handed the images over to police.
-
Police praised the decision of Mrs Waller in what they described as one of the biggest child pornography cases they’d seen.
-
‘She’s just as caught off guard as anyone else,’ Detective Brandon King of the Jonesboro Police Department told WMC Action News 5 in May last year.
-
‘She’s very hurt and very upset and honestly had no idea that anything was going on. She said it’s a roller coaster, which would be expected.’
-
A police detective testified to finding 400,000 images of child pornography and videos of young females inside the church bathroom on an external hard drive of Waller’s.
-
The detective says he found holes in the ceiling of the church bathroom and a place for a hidden camera nearby.
-
In 2015, Waller told officers ‘he had been addicted to child pornography for over 20 years’.
