Since this subject seems to be at the forefront lately with the #metoo movement and is being discussed in a lot of threads I thought it's about time it got a thread dedicated to it!
To start things off I stumbled upon this article :
Pastor Andy Savage gets standing ovation after admitting to "sexual incident" with teen 20 years ago - CBS News
This pastor sexually assaulted a woman when he was 22, she went public with her story on a Christian blog and when this guy realised he could no longer hide his crime he decides to come out, refers to his sexual assault as "sexual incident", apologizes and asks for forgiveness!
I don't think he deserves a standing ovation from his church nor do I think his victim deserves to be told that "she hasn't found peace yet" if she refused to take his insincere "apology"! What I think he actually deserves is to go on trial for his crime and get a conviction! And honestly this is the kind of "christian" behaviour that makes people question Christianity as a whole!
But seriously what do you think about this incident in particular? The #metoo movement more generally? And what can be done to minimize sexual harrassement/assault?
