The married church pastor publicly accused of taking a 16-year-old girl’s virginity on his office floor began grooming her as early as 14, her family have alleged to DailyMail.com.
And victim Bobi Gephart, now 43, was held in a Svengali-like grip by 65-year-old preacher John Lowe II for at least eight years as he had sex with her ‘many, many’ times, they add.
Lowe – forced to quit the large church he built from scratch in Warsaw, Indiana, because of the storm – was so desperate to keep his illicit lust secret that he verbally blackmailed her into staying silent, her mother has claimed in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com.
Branded a ‘predator’ by Bobi’s mom Karen Wolfe, the pastor was confronted Sunday on the stage of the packed New Life Christian Church after he confessed to his congregation that he had ‘sinned’ by committing adultery 20 years ago.
He did not name the woman or her age – and received a standing ovation after begging the church’s forgiveness.
But Bobi then stormed towards the stage with husband Nate, 37, grabbed a microphone and said it wasn’t just adultery and it was 27 years ago.
Speaking directly to the pastor – and recorded in a Facebook video clip that went viral – she revealed: 'For 27 years I lived in a prison. It was not 20 years. I lived in a prison of lies and shame… I thought I was a horrible person, having suicidal thoughts…
‘I was a prisoner and you kept me in your prison. I’m a prisoner no longer.’
Then she revealed: ‘I was just 16 when you took my virginity on your office floor. Do you remember that? I know you do.

Churches have become sicko magnets - beware 🤪
The church was targeted for destruction in the 60s and has been dutifully infiltrated and infested by leftists all all levels up to and including the pope
Hey, it’s legal in Muslim countries, so, why not in a Christian church?
(Legal defense for predators)
Hang him.
Put him in with the general population. No better justice gets delivered better than by other inmates.
Same with government public schools.
*If true,* then throw him out to the wolves.
I emphasize ‘if true’ because I know for a fact that people will make up insane shit about pastors in order to get them in trouble just because they don’t like them.
I also know that predators will often attempt to get into positions where they can exploit people, so.
If I caught any adult man shirtless in bed with my daughter when she was 14 he would not have lived until she was 15.
Sex crimes by members of the clergy are not unusual:

Rape should be a capital crime!
Ok, and what do you do with her? You know, since she kept doinking him for 9 years till she was 25.
Or is this another of the times that women are always seen a children who never have to take responsibility for their actions? She was screwing a married man, the preacher, and it never crossed her mind that was against the rules?
Salamander what was that you said about your parents beating you in to the..was it zip or area code in that other thread?
Well anyway that is what this girls dad should have done to this man. Just taken a Louisville Slugger and chased him around all of creation.
After she was an adult she could doink anyone, but you already knew that. And now, back to victim-blaming...
By the way, what exactly are these “rules” for doinking you speak of?
“Ok, and what do you do with her? You know, since she kept doinking him for 9 years till she was 25.”
Once she hit 18 she was free to do whatever she wanted, as she was old enough to give consent. But HE committed a horrific crime against a 14-year old.
Years ago I was in a conference room waiting for a meeting to start. Being geeks, we often discuss current events regarding technical innovations. I announced that I saw an article about an electronic collar someone was developing to put on the necks of criminals. Another fellow responded by saying, “That is old hat. The Catholic Church has been putting collars on criminals for centuries”.
Sick people in every walk of life.
So sad when it happens in to the church.
It’s bad enough adulterating with an adult woman but with a minor in church no less is especially egregious. A pastor - what the hades?
Satan finds a weakness and attacks that. His sin found him out and Satan prevailed decades ago.

She finally had enough and put an obvious stop
