Pastor pleads guilty to sexual assault
Source: Voice Online

THE PASTOR of a London-based evangelical church has pleaded guilty to sexual assault.


Pastor Albert Odulele, 47, from Kent who is the founder of Glory House International based in East London has admitted indecently assaulting a boy aged 14 and sexually assaulting a 21-year-old man.

So I guess it happens across the pond as well. He was an openly gay basher.

Liberals tend to look at conservatives and see people who want to be at war with everyone. But maybe, at least from an individual perspective, we need more compassion. It is becoming increasingly obvious to me that most of these people are at war with themselves and are perhaps tortured in ways it is difficult to imagine.

I can't imagine the battles and despair of a gay child growing up in a Baptist church. And remember all those people around that child were children there as well. What a ball and chain to carry arund in life.

2. JFTR - The vast majority of pedophiles are straight.
Actual gay people usually find their way out and don't molest or abuse children.

5. I think your comment here is just muddying the waters.
Certainly most straight people don't molest or abuse children, and a paedophile wouldn't really be considered straight or gay; it's a sexual abnormality. In any case, this guy's victims were 14 and 21, so he wasn't a paedophile anyway.

6. The OP clearly indicated he/she thinks the perp is a repressed homosexual.
I didn't care much for the assumption.

OK - the guy is not a pedophile - he is just a chicken hawk.

9. Yeah, maybe, maybe not - we don't know enough.
Sexual abuse is often as much about power as it is sexuality, so the gender of his victims could have little to do with it. However, I think it is still likely worth noting that someone who is openly anti-gay would abuse male victims.

3. It doesn't take rocket science to figure out religiously &
Socially conservative institutions are the Perfect place to hide
In 'plain sight'.

The abuse & kink & perversion is built in and defended all too often
By it's victims.

Liberal institutions - on the other hand - religious included - are the worst places to hide.

10. In the 1880's they're lost maybe. In 2011 they're not. They're hiding. Nt

7. ummm he's a rapist, not a gay man
The perpetrator of a rape is not gay or straight as measured by the sex of those whom he or she rapes. Rape is all about domination, control and self-interest.

Shame on the OP for alleging that the perpetrator is gay. DU seems to need remedial education over and over.

8. Thanks.
I tried to make the same point but obviously missed the mark.
