Florida Youth Pastor Faces 24 Sexual Abuse Charges Against Foster Children

News summary

Two separate cases involving pastors accused of extensive child abuse have emerged in the U.S. In South Carolina, Pastor Myron Chorbajian of 1st Southern Methodist Church and his wife Kathleen face allegations of physically, sexually, and psychologically abusing their adopted children over decades, with horrifying reports including sexual assault, physical beatings, and cruelty toward pets. In Florida, Daniel Lamppin, a volunteer youth pastor and Chick-fil-A manager, has been charged with 24 counts of sexual battery by a custodian after two former foster daughters accused him of years-long sexual abuse beginning from a young age; one victim reported abuse starting at age six, and another began experiencing abuse shortly after moving in at age sixteen. Authorities in both cases believe there may be additional victims and are urging anyone with information to come forward. Lamppin has confessed to the crimes and is being held without bond, while investigations into both cases are ongoing. These cases highlight serious concerns about abuse within foster care and religious community settings.
