  1. I've been out of the BJU / fundamentalist circles for decades, but I'm really angry about the lies being told about Chuck. I knew him years ago and had the highest respect for him. I still do. It's great to see some support for him finally.

  2. Just wait until the trial transcripts come out, it's probably going to change a lot of people's opinions and empty out the "We Hate Chuck" wagon really quickly.

  3. The facts are that after the initial incident (be it sexual touching or intercourse) in the car the plaintiff voluntarily allowed the defendant into her home where the rape occurred (statutory or forcible).

    The plaintiff admits to not remembering what actually took place in her home. Her own words were, "I blanked out." No one has testified under oath to the use of the term rape by the plaintiff within years of the actual incident. There were no physical signs of forcible rape to the plaintiff; nor were there any signs of forced entry into the home. The plaintiff and defendant have both testified to a subsequent dinner engagement near her 16th birthday which was the age of consent at that time in New Hampshire.

    The pastor who has an outstanding track record as an honest and godly man promptly reported the incident to the authorities as a statutory rape near the time of the incident. The pastor has the full support of the plaintiff's mother in his sworn testimony. The defendant is certainly guilty of statutory rape and criminal sexual molestation. He deserves to be imprisoned for those crimes and may be guilty of forcible rape.

    However, the maligning of the pastor's character is not justified. The accusation of moral bankruptcy is itself slanderous and immoral.
