New information tonight on an investigation the Local I-Team broke last night. Three men claim Memphis library worker Chris Carwile sexually abused them as teens nearly 20 years ago when he was an associate youth minister at Immanuel Baptist Church in Germantown.
Victims tell Local I-Team’s Maria Hallas they believe they suffered lasting spiritual and emotional damage in the way the church responded to their claims.
“The coverup of the way the leadership of our church handled our situation created long lasting pain,” says Kenny Stubblefield, one of the victims.
Boz Tchividjian a former prosecutor, grandson of Reverend Billy Graham, and victims’ rights advocate said the three men’s feelings are not unusual.
