Written by: DJ Forrester- Roberts : “Chuck Phelps is a BJU alumni and pastored a church in NH where a 15 year old girl was raped and impregnated 13 years ago by a 32 (I think) year old man in the church (who had a wife and family).”
The victim in this case was a babysitter for the children of the man who raped her. He was 38. It didn’t happen “in the church.”
DJ Forrester- Roberts : Phelps handled it by making the girl get up in front of the congregation and apologize for being raped.
I’m assuming this was because the victim lied to Phelps about her continued involvement with the married man after she was raped the first time and then after she turned 16 (allowing him to take her out to dinner at the local hotel, continuing her driving lessons with him, allowing him in her home while her mother was at work) maybe he did ask her to confess to allowing a “compromising situation to occur.” That's what the letter she wrote said.
This event was also to solicit the prayers and support of the church family. Phelps has since said he wouldn’t allow the personal needs of a teenage to be presented publicly.
DJ Forrester- Roberts : He then sent her away to Colorado in an attempt to keep the NH police from getting involved.
That is completely false. Sworn testimony indicates that Chuck Phelps called police three times and he also contacted the New Hampshire department of children and family services. He also encouraged the victim’s mother to report the crime, even though the victim herself was against the assaults being reported. The police came to the mother’s work place. They interviewed the suspect. It was police who didn’t act, not Chuck Phelps.
Her mother expressed her inability to supervise her teen daughter due to having to work full time. Phelps suggested that the teen could live with a Christian family in Colorado during her pregnancy. The teen later asked to stay with this family in Colorado after her baby was born and continued to live with them until the foster father was transferred to another state.
DJ Forrester- Roberts : The rapist/pedophile was allowed to stay in the church for 13 years and was a member in "good standing".
Because he wasn’t indicted and obviously not convicted of a crime at the time, the church had no grounds to label the man and accuse him. Also, it should be noted that the man was not a pedophile. He raped a teen when she was 15 years and 8 months old. And contrary to the claims of Forrester- Roberts, the man left the church some years ago.
DJ Forrester- Roberts : Last year this girl, Tina Anderson, finally brought charges against her rapist and he was sent to prison. 20/20 did an entire show about it.
Anderson refused to speak to police 13 years ago. She changed her mind in 2010 and agreed to cooperate.
20/20 did include the
Anderson situation in a recent show. As is the norm with the leftist media, many untruths were presented as “fact” about the Baptist faith. Elizabeth Vargas and 20/20 also lied and claimed that
Anderson was fired from her job at an independent Baptist college when that was not true.
Anderson nodded her head and agreed with Vargas when the “you lost your job” question was asked of her.

Tina also swore under oath that she lost her job as a result of coming forward about the crime but in a published news interview and in her statement to police the year before Tina said she was resigning due to not wanting to be an IFB any longer.
DJ Forrester- Roberts : Chuck Phelps wasn't prosecuted for being the accessory to a crime because the SOL had run out.
Completely false and in our opinion grounds for a libel suit. Phelps was not in any way associated with what Ernie Willis did to Tina Anderson and called police 3 different times in regards to this situation when he found out four months later. He also called New Hampshire social services.
DJ Forrester- Roberts: Phelps, when questioned by 20/20, claimed the relationship was "consensual", ignoring the fact that there is no consensual relationship between a 15 year old girl and a 32 year old man. It's called statutory rape.
In regards to the fact that Tina Anderson consented to being in the company of Ernie Willis after she turned 16 (age of consent in NH), even though she knew it was wrong, Phelps is correct in using the term consensual.
When speaking of the rapes that occurred when Tina was 15, Phelps did report to the police that Anderson was raped.
DJ Forrester- Roberts : Chuck Phelps, after this controversial story came out was asked to sit on the Board of Director's at BJU. And that's wrong.
Maybe so, maybe not. But it’s definitely wrong to tell so many lies about the man and falsely accuse him of committing crimes.
DJ Forrester- Roberts : Phelps has never apologized or admitted he did anything wrong.
He has stated that he would not bring the personal needs of a teenager before a congregation if he had it to do over again.
DJ Forrester- Roberts: In conversations with some of us who've contacted him, he's been arrogant and sometimes downright mean.
He’s been attacked and lied about. His children have been threatened. It may be your opinion (and you don’t say if you talked to him) but most of us think he’s shown great grace with all he’s had to endure in the face of such attacks.
DJ Forrester- Roberts : So, it's pretty much, in my opinion, a case of people at BJU being a little concerned because this page is gaining in popularity and they want it shut down. I imagine some students and possibly BJU faculty and admins, are coming in here with fake accounts in an attempt to cast a bad light on this movement. Hope that helps:).
DJ Forrester-Roberts is above accusing BJU faculty and administrators of forming false Facebook pages in order to make posts on the disgruntled BJU alumni page “Do Right BJU.”
Forrester-Roberts fails to report the near constant stream of actual BJU students who went to the page and asked questions and were summarily banned by the BJU alumi and others who own the “Do Right BJU” page.
Because that’s how they roll.
