Sheriff's investigators initially contacted Stoffel on Feb. 1 when he was undergoing counseling at Love In Action International Inc., a Memphis, Tenn.-based ministry dedicated to rooting out homosexual behavior, its Web site says, "through the power of Jesus Christ.""Strict confidentiality" involves calling the cops on a patient?It was at the ministry that Stoffel confessed his actions to a counselor, who then contacted Palm Beach County authorities, according to police reports. Stoffel also reported his activities to the Florida Abuse Hotline before authorities contacted him, according to a statement.
Love in Action spokesman Gerard Wellman said Monday he could not comment about the case due to "strict confidentiality requirements."
At any rate, I'm glad someone stopped Stoffel
I assume there is a provision that requires counselors to report crimes. One should be afraid of the many leftist counselors that consider adult sex with children to be a victimless crime or no crime at all. I have a feeling that there is much more of this not reported than reported...
Calling the authorities is the right action. Even though the man confessed his sin and desires to be free of it, he is still responsible for his past action and must face all results from it.
Councilors are required to report instances of child abuse.
