Pressler Accused of 35 years of Sodomy

Yeah, read the suit. Bizarre. The Conservative Resurgence figures in the suit.

[Dave Roberts]

This is old news because the accusations have been out there for at least 25 years. What is new is that this is the first time it will be heard before a judge and Pressler will have to answer in a civil court in which the standard of proof is lower than in a criminal court.

Rumors over the years. Hardly enough to draw a conclusion. We aren't rumor mongers...except when we are.

Oh. I see this story was posted by Timothy earlier on Dec 6. Didn’t see that.

So read both posts. Mine has the lawsuit itself which I’ll add to Timothy’s.

There are plenty of people who want this to be true and accurate. There is nothing to lead me to so conclude at this point.

Got it. Odds are better than 2:1 he's guilty based on anonymous AZ reviews and plaintiff's filing.

Time will tell. I’ll be interested in the report of the jury one way or another since I’ve seen on other forums that there has been rumors about Pressler like this for many years. Rumors may not be true of course. But I have noticed over the years that people who abuse power don’t necessarily turn out to be free of moral problems in other parts of their life either.

I personally will not mention this again until it comes to trial or settlement. My suspicion is that it may be arbitrated with gag orders or settled out of court with a confidentiality agreement enforced.

I have yet to see BNG report on this, nor any other reputable religious news outlet.

BNG has just done so this morning:
