Class Action Sex Abuse Lawsuit Filed Against Former Youth Director at First Baptist-Hammond | The Roys Report

New leadership  at 1st Baptist Hammond will have to pay the price for crimes committed 40 years ago.  These are sins against God, againsts others, and crimes.  In contrast to the way things were handled in the 1970’s and 80’s, the recent leadership at 1st Baptist Hammond responded quickly and appropriately when they discovered crimes committed by the former pastor, Jack Schaap.  We will watch with  prayers both for the victims and for the ones who have to clean up the mess left by others.  (KSchaal)

A former parishioner has filed a class action lawsuit in federal court alleging she was repeatedly raped as a child by the former youth director of First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana, and that officials at First Baptist and the affiliated Hyles-Anderson College covered up the abuse. Nanette Miles alleges she was sexually assaulted over a period of several years by David Hyles, the son of Hyles-Anderson College founder and longtime First Baptist pastor Jack Hyles, starting when she was 13 years old in 1976.
