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)

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.
