On a bingo card this should just be the Free spot

There is a free spot on my bingo card the size of Texas. And Florida.
Actually, we should give up Bingo and start a new game called Headlines. It'll be like Cards Against Humanity, except the black cards will all be "____ arrested for ".
The white cards will all just be various individuals or descriptors like "Hulk Hogan" and "Texas Megachurch youth leader".
After everyone plays, you do a search for the headline and the most recent exact match wins.
I spent more time thinking about this than it's worth, but I'm committed now.

It's always the ones you most suspect

Surprising absolutely no one. It's a trope at this point that megachurch pastors and staff are sexual deviants and pedophiles.
Keep your kids safe. Don't let them go to church.

Just a friendly reminder that pedophile is not synonymous with child molester. It's a term describing sexual attraction, not behaviour, just like 'heterosexual' is. Simply being a heterosexual doesn't make a man danger to women any more than being pedophile alone makes them danger to children. They have a sense of morality too.
The vast majority of people in prison for child abuse are not, in fact, pedophiles but just good-old rapists. Children unfortunelately simply are an easy target. The capability to rape a person - underage or not - generally requires some levels of narcissism, psychopathy and/or machiavellianism i.e. the 'dark triad' personality.

Sucks that he was trying to get help with it. The buck stops at his solicitation of nudes to minors though. He gets what he deserves here.

Yeah, absolutely. All bets are off once you go from just thoughts to actions.
If I remember correctly, the strongest correlation with offending is proximity to children. So if someone has these tendencies and works in childcare, teaching, a church, or, in this case, as a 'youth leader,' then we're on a bad path there..

So keep your kids and the pedophiles safe; don't send your kids to church.

Did he solicit children from the church? I dont think any of this was in person.

Conservatism and pedophilia. Name a more iconic duo.

Ooooh I'm gonna have to go with Conservatism and racism. But pedophilia is probably a close third after misogyny.

Abilene Texas is a wretched hive of Christian nationalism and reactionary entitlement.
I only drive out there because I have family there; my niece was a victim of another pedo pastor there.
