Ngl, that indeed sounds like a monumental cover up by the pastor. I wonder what Jimmy Hinton thinks about this scenario? And honestly, I would rather hear from the victim than this pastor. I mean, why the visit? Seems so unnecessary. If you were a pastor, wouldn't you rather contact the victim personally over the phone or email first, and not waste money and time visiting in person? I honestly believe he might have been trying to warn his BIL trying to convince him to get away or something. My spidey senses are tingling-- and not in a good way! Sure, one could hope that he's a good guy, but it just looks suspicious all over the place the way he dealt with this. Again, I'd like to hear from the victim on this whole situation. Hopefully she doesn't feel threatened or intimidated from coming forward to share what she's been through and raise awareness.
All I'm saying is that an average person-- even a pastor-- would immediately go to the authorities not go visit the victim... and the predator! Especially the predator! Even if they are family. It just doesn't add up.
And also, I listened to the guy's announcement video attached to the article and he sounds kind of arrogant and condescending, the way he asserts that he doesn't "lower" himself, etc. For all I know, he's a good guy that's just not handling the situation quite as well as he should, but that's often how they've slipperily get away with things... And yes, I am definitely being critical here because this is the right time/circumstance to be such. Scrutiny has been earned here, given the events that have unfolded.
