Southern Baptist leaders released a confidential list of hundreds of accused sexual abusers Thursday evening that tracked names, dates and details about a burgeoning abuse crisis — but was kept secret for more than a decade.
Jules Woodson, a sexual assault survivor, cries as she hugs her boyfriend Ben Smith, after telling her story during a rally on the first day of the Southern Baptist Convention's annual meeting on Tuesday, June 11, 2019, in Birmingham."I was certainly impressed with how much influence she has," Smith said."I wanted to see how much I could support her."Guidepost investigators found that nine of the suspected abusers were still in ministry, with two of them at SBC churches.
Roger “Sing” Oldham, a former vice president for SBC relations, said he supplied some of the material for Boto’s list, but insisted he had no idea what it was used for or that it even existed.this week. “If it was used, I don’t know what it was used for.” The Guidepost investigation found “there is no indication that Dr. Oldham, Mr. Boto, or anyone else, took any action to ensure that the accused ministers were no longer in positions of power at SBC churches.”
