Founder of Florida's Biggest Megachurch Accused of Molesting a 4-Year-Old

The call came from California. A woman told Coral Springs Police she had recently learned something terrible: A South Florida man had molested her daughter for years. It began when the girl was just 4 years old.

An officer noted the information and called the victim, who was then a teenager. She confirmed the story in stomach-churning detail.

The man had forced her to perform oral sex, she said. He would regularly "finger and fondle her" genitals, make her touch his penis, and "dirty talk" to her. The abuse lasted until she was a teenager, she told the cop. She'd never even told her family about the crimes.

By the end of that harrowing call on August 20, 2015, police knew the accused predator was no ordinary suspect. His name was Bob Coy, and until the previous year, he'd been the most famous Evangelical pastor in Florida.

6. The documentary movie Marjoe exposed evangelical hypocrisy

Marjoe Gortner grew up in an evangelical family, and became an evangelist himself at a very early age before ultimately turning against that "profession".

Worth watching if you can find it. It is pretty disturbing to see how so many people can be manipulated by a canny preacher.
