Terry Lewayne Murphree, 39, threatened to kill himself and his wife if the teen victim didn’t comply with his demands, according to court documents.

Murphree is charged in Blount County with 17 crimes: nine counts of a clergy member having sexual intercourse with a child, three counts of sexual abuse, and one count each of first-degree rape, electronic solicitation of a child, human trafficking, traveling to meet a child for sex, and first-degree attempted sodomy.

Intercourse against the girl’s will took place at least seven times and possibly as many as 15, records state. Those acts took place at the unnamed church, at Murphree’s home and at the victim’s home.

Disgusting!
Agreed 100%. Disgusting on the worst degree. This youth minister must be kept far away from kids, and locked up.

Jesus had a warning about folks who abuse the little ones:

Matthew 18:6-7 (NIV): "If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!"

Evil in all the barrels .... it's especially disgusting when a person who professes faith in Jesus and then does things things. A total abomination.

The death penalty would be appropriate
