Ho, hum, the hits keep coming. Honestly, between Mullah Dobson and all the Catholic priests—still waiting for that there apology, Benedict, Bernie—you’ve got to wonder if any of these guys aren’t kinked. AP:

Mall Church Volunteer Turns Himself In
After two weeks of investigation, Lakeland police arrested a trusted church member and accused him of sex offenses involving three boys he mentored at the church.

Marshal Seymour, a 40-year-old student ministry volunteer at Lakeland’s prominent First Baptist Church at the Mall, turned himself in Friday night after Lakeland police issued a warrant.

Seymour met his victims through the church and paid them to perform sex acts or to keep quiet about sexual encounters, Lakeland police said. The boys were 15, 16 and 17 at the time of the incidents, which occurred during the past two years, according to arrest documents.

Seymour is charged with three counts of using a child in sexual performance and one count each of unlawful sexual activity and tampering with or fabricating physical evidence.

He was in Polk County Jail on Saturday with bail set at $325,000.

The allegations against Seymour have rocked First Baptist, which has about 9,000 members and is one of Polk County’s flagship churches.

I don’t know why they should be surprised; the abuse just keeps happening, on, and on, and on.

It’s the nature of authoritarian social relations, I guess….
