Co-Author Of Huckabee’s Do The Right Thing Faced Child Molestation Charges
[su_publirb]
It’s bizarre how this issue keeps coming up around those who preach purity.
John Perry, a prolific author who co-wrote two books with former Arkansas governor and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee and co-wrote one with Alabama Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore, was accused of child molestation in two separate lawsuits, BuzzFeed News has found.
A 2012 police investigation of Perry’s alleged offenses found that “the allegations of sexual battery were sustained” but that the statute of limitations had expired.
Perry co-wrote Do the Right Thing: Inside the Movement That’s Bringing Common Sense Back to America about Huckabee’s 2008 presidential campaign. He also did research and writing for Huckabee’s 2007 book Character Is the Issue, a memoir of his early time as governor. Perry also co-wrote So Help Me God, Moore’s autobiographical account of fighting to keep a monument to the Ten Commandments at Alabama’s Supreme Court…
In a sworn affidavit submitted during divorce proceedings, Perry’s ex-wife attests that she “filed for divorce as a result of Mr. Perry’s inappropriate marital conduct, to which he admitted to in his Response to Interrogatories numbers 1 and 2.” Throughout the court documents, “inappropriate marital conduct” appears to be a euphemism for the alleged molestation…
Another filing, submitted by Perry’s ex-wife’s attorney earlier in the same proceedings, refers to Perry’s “admitted sexual abuse” of a minor child. Perry’s response to that filing — also submitted prior to his ex-wife’s affidavit — does not deny the abuse, or that Perry admitted it. Instead, Perry claims that “there was never any testimony or other evidence of any kind presented” to the court, “or any orders or findings of fact […] regarding any alleged sexual abuse of any minor child relative to the parties’ divorce or any other legal proceeding.”

Religion makes pervs with their male dominance rhetoric and excuses of why it happened and the cover ups.

Hey, dude? Pro tip: When you get to the point that you’re saying “there was no evidence presented” in a child molestation claim, just stop digging.

some authors belong with others who are confused about religion

Perry’s church, Covenant Presbyterian in Nashville, was sued by parishoners for covering-up information relating to Perry’s confessed history of sexually abusing children — the extent of making death threats against those who wanted to report him to the authorities. The case file is here, Austin Davis, et al., v. Covenant Presbyterian Church, et al., March 25, 2014, Tennessee Court of Appeals: https://www.tba.org/sites/default/files/davisa_06242014.pdf

I’d love to wipe that smug look off of his face.
