The FCC chair is calling out the institutions that have gotten a free pass
on their corruption and illegal DEI practices for too long.
Like Trump with his useless gaggle of fools.
All rightists are inferior and therefor DEI hires. White Christian male rightists prefer sex with boys.
Some estimates exist on the total instances of sexual abuse within Protestant Christian churches. One estimate comes from three of the largest faith-based insurance companies that insure nearly 160,000 churches. These three faith- based insurance companies reported 7,095 insurance claims of sexual abuse by clerical members, church employees, congregation members, or others involved within these settings from 1987 to 2007 (The Associated Press, 2007). These reports indicate an average of 260 claims of sexual abuse per year. In addition, Denney, Kerley, and Gross (2018) published one of the first
empirical studies on sexual abuse in the U.S. within Protestant Christian settings that examined news articles reporting on arrests involving sexual abuse, finding 326 total cases reported from 1999 to 2014. Most recently, the Houston Chronicle published a series titled "Abuse of Faith," uncovering
sexual abuse and cover-up within the largest Protestant Christian
organization in the U.S. (i.e., the SBC). They identified 380 sexual abusers and 700 alleged victims over 20 years (Downen, Olsen, & Tedesco, 2019). Moreover, Downen et al. (2019) found that 35 Southern Baptist ministers were hired at churches, despite being accused of sexual misconduct or abuse, demonstrating a pattern of institutional issues in responding to alleged
sexual abuse.
It is clear that sexual abuse occurs within these organizations, thus underscoring the importance of examining sexual victimization and related contextual characteristics, such as offender types, that arise within this setting. The need to further understand sexual abuse within this setting is imperative since the impacts of sexual victimization are so severe. Effects
of sexual victimization include, but are not limited to, depression, suicide/suicidal thoughts, substance use/abuse, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), eating disorder(s), and more (Bensley, Van Eenwyk, & Simmons, 2000; Beitchman et al., 1992; Briere & Runtz, 1988; Dube et al., 2005; Gold, 1986; Kendall-Tackett, Williams, & Finkelhor, 1993; MacMillan & Munn, 2001;
Najdowski & Ullman, 2009; Rossow & Lauritzen, 2001; Simpson & Miller, 2002).
