Paragons of Virtue Arrested

It's time to name and shame the self-proclaimed paragons of virtue. Keep it civil, though.

Stories are about those who have been placed in positions of trust, and then abused that trust.

Feel free to add stories of the self-righteous from other walks of life.

New rule: With regard to stories of particularly, but not only, female teachers sexually assaulting students. Any comments similar to "where were they when I was in school" will earn you the right to find another forum.

Amber Richards, described years of manipulation and sexual abuse that began when she was 14.

Testifying during the trial, she recounted waking up to find Richards beside her bed and enduring repeated assaults while pretending to be asleep.

The abuse, she said, escalated after he sent her a message about taking their relationship “to the next level.”

You’d think that being a “man of god” would bring a heavier sentence.

There should be a hypocrite addendum. It's 10-20 years, plus 30% for being a hypocrite.

God is a very useful shield for terrible people. They act any way they want, and their religion helps excuse/forgive the behavior. You can see its utility in things like rape, and genocide in today’s world.

Christofascists don't belong in society.
