We applaud the brave girl who reported being abused by Rev. Paul Endrei of Church on the Rise in Westlake. But we're troubled that it took almost a year for law enforcement officials to arrest the accused clergyman.

We know child sex cases can be tough and that cases against popular or powerful figures even tougher. But we hope police and prosecutors will explain to parents and the public why it took so long to file charges. And we hope that over those 11 months that Rev. Endrei did not hurt any more kids.

Finally, we beg current and former members of Church on the Rise to aggressively seek out others who may have seen, suspected or suffered the clergyman's crimes and prod them to call police too.
