A Kentucky youth minister allegedly sexually abused and threatened one of his students. We are grateful to the brave victim who found the courage to speak up.

Rev. Allen Murphy, who was a youth pastor at Polly Ann Church of God in Eubank, was charged with three counts of sex crimes involving a minor.

We urge officials at Polly Ann Church of God to use their resources to reach out to anyone who may have seen, suspects, or suffered crimes by Murphy. We hope any other victims who might be suffering in silence and self-blame will find the courage to speak up, report abuse, help protect other kids, and start healing.
