Naked Pastor: Religion and the Abuse Excuse |
Dozens of women have come forward with allegations against Bill Gothard for sexual harassment/abuse. The alleged abuse occurred at various of his training centers over a period of many decades. Some of the young women were minors when the incidents took place. As of June 2016, a lawsuit filed by eighteen of the women has stalled because their attorney who is strongly affiliated with the IFB was disqualified.
