If this happens in a Baptist church the minute it’s been confirmed, that preacher is out in a skinny minute and turned over to law enforcement. A violater never is shuffled off to another church.

You're right! According to the article, the pastor was not moved .. he's still there.

Years later, in 2006, she sued the pastor, Dale "Dickie" Amyx, and the church. Amyx reportedly admitted in a deposition he had sex with her when she was a teenager and was the father of her child, but claimed their sex was consensual. He was not charged with a crime. As of 2016, he is still listed as the pastor of that church.

In 2008, Vasquez went to Indianapolis to share her story and plead with officials at the Southern Baptist Convention to implement changes at their estimated 47,000 churches to help prevent future sexual assaults. Days later, they reportedly rejected almost every proposed reform, and the alleged abuse continued.

Wow! That’s terrible. I know of no Baptist church that would allow that to happen. As a preacher’s kid, and niece, cousin, and friend to many Baptist preachers, I can’t even imagine this guy still in the church.

(There were reasons we never joined an SBC church.)

Outrageous. Why wasn’t this dirtbag prosecuted? This guy belongs in prison and the church should be sued for multi millions for allowing and keeping this pervert in this “church”.
