Antigay youth pastor busted for sexting teen boy, asking for x-rated pics
Another day, another antigay preacher busted for being a pervert. This time its Paxton Singer, a former youth pastor at Harvest Bible Chapel in Aurora, Illinois, who allegedly asked a 16-year-old boy to send him nude pics and sneak away with him for a weekend alone together. He and the teen met at a church event. Afterwards, Singer allegedly sexted the boy for almost a year, between October 2016 and August 2017.
When leaders at Harvest Bible Chapel learned about the relationship in January 2018, they claim Singer was involuntarily terminated for cause and that they notified authorities immediately. Three incidents related to the former employee in question were all reported to DCFS during the second and third week of January 2018. Scott Milholland, the senior executive pastor at Harvest Bible Chapel, told the Chicago Tribune. Further contact between our staff and DCFS beyond that time period were follow-up related and did not involve any new incidents.
But officials at the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) tell a different story. They say the charges against Singer, which include disorderly conduct and sexual exploitation of a child, didnt result from the church calling them in January, but instead came after a hotline call placed several months later.
The DCFS child protection investigation was completed in October 2018, and Paxton Singer was indicated for sexual exploitation, officials say.
