A former Bradford County youth pastor wanted on multiple sexual assault-related charges — dating back more than 20 years — was detained while attempting to travel from Australia to the Philippines. [He was denied entry due to an Interpol hit and put on a plane to Los Angeles.]

Investigators alleged that Fenton repeatedly sexually abused a victim between 1996 and 1998, starting when the victim was around 14 years old and Fenton was 26.

The youth pastor had declared that God wanted the victim to be his spouse. The victim came forward [circa 2021] after she left the unidentified religious community and sought help to recover from the abuse.

Investigators noted that the victim’s statements were corroborated by former church officials

Awful.

You can scream #notadragqueen all you want, but it doesn't change the fact drag is adult entertainment only.
Movies can be rated XXX or G. So can drag performances.

There is nothing adult about reading The Hungry Caterpillar in drag.

Drag is still for adults only. It will only confuse children IMO.

Sure…but this is not what the thread is about. Sorry I brought it up.
Ah, I see, it’s only a problem if you don’t like what’s causing the confusion.

To a fair number of people, both are instances of playing “let’s pretend”.
Depends. Apparently, my reality isn’t the same as your reality.

Not the same since drag is for ADULTS.
Unlike religion which is a simple child friendly affair without complex or troubling concepts.

Fair enough... but we are getting off topic so this is my final comment.
