Also, a "prayer partner" is hardly a position of authority within the church.
Finally, the account given by the "victim" raises some questions. Like "what happened" and "what do you mean by groomed". I don't really see how any leader of the church could respond to accusations they didn't do everything within their power unless we know the answers to these questions.
Also, this matter of going to the police. If the victim is an adult you are going to have to get that person to go to the police. In the end, unless that person presses charges all you will get is a lawsuit of slander against you.

I posted links of interest. I am not the author of these links. I made no proposals. I made no comments on these articles. Perhaps YOU should contact the author and ask any questions you may have. Perhaps YOU should refrain from pointing fingers and making assumptions where none exist.
The cover up of sexual abuse in churches is not unique to the Catholics or the Baptists.
