Evangelical Megachurch Sued for More Than $1 Million in Child Sexual Abuse Case
"A woman who said
she was sexually abused as a child by a pastor at one of the country’s
most prominent evangelical megachurches sued the church on Friday,
alleging gross negligence and seeking more than $1 million in damages.
The
case against the Village Church — which is based in Flower Mound, Tex.,
outside Dallas, and is led by Matt Chandler — is perhaps the most
high-profile current lawsuit alleging child sexual abuse in the Southern
Baptist Convention. It comes as the largest Protestant denomination in
the United States has vowed to address widespread sexual abuse in its
congregations.
The suit alleges that
the church was “willfully negligent” in its failure to protect a child
in its care from being sexually assaulted. It also says the church is
liable for the actions of the pastor, who was removed from the staff
last year. The woman is seeking damages after she says the abuse caused
emotional distress, including an ongoing struggle with depression."
