Over 2,700 names started in the Protestant Accountability database + 400 submitted in weeks, closing in on 3,000.
With most abuse going unreported and rarely seeing justice, this database represents only a tiny fraction of actual misconduct in Protestant spaces.

An important new resource has been launched! ProtestantAccountability.org brings publicly available information about Protestant leaders accused of abusing children or vulnerable adults together in one searchable database. Making this information easier to find can help protect others, bring greater transparency, and hold individuals and institutions accountable. roysreport.com/list-of-prote…

The Southern Baptist Convention voted for an online abuse database. It set up an independent nonprofit to run it, raised $75,000 and secured a pledge for $250,000 more. Then, in 2025, the task force cited "obstacles" and put the project on indefinite hold.
This week, a handful of survivors launched their own.

Systems that cover up abuse through deception, coercion, or abuse of power mimic the perpetrator and revictimize the victim. Tragically, many lives have been sacrificed on the altar of secrecy for the sake of the church or a perceived noble cause.

“In many cases…adults were able to have one-on-one interactions with students, while the children at the school had limited communication with their families and were vulnerable due to age, sexual identity and lack of experience. And, [the report] says, some were scared to report what happened to them.”
The isolation and vulnerability of students can make boarding schools particularly ripe environments for sexual predators. Parents must remain vigilant and ensure that schools foster a culture that actively reduces opportunities for isolation, protects vulnerable students, and creates safe, accessible ways for students to report concerns and abuse. npr.org/2026/08/10/nx-s1-592…

(RNS) — In an open letter, a group of survivors and advocates say that comments by SBC President Willy Rice and Texas pastor Jack Graham make it harder to address the issue of abuse in churches. religionnews.com/2026/07/21/…

There are many survivors, so many that you will not know their names, who are not publicly known
Every survivor watching sees & hears the callous words claiming advocacy was a hoax, it makes their pain worse
It thwarts healing
It opens the door to abusers

Clergy sexual abuse survivors and advocates have signed an “Open letter regarding the politicalization and minimization of clergy sexual abuse within the SBC” 👇President Willy Rice and Prestonwood Baptist Church Senior Pastor Jack Graham have engaged in. drive.google.com/file/d/1n5E…

Jack Graham has covered up multiple child sexual predators at his church, and those are just the ones I know about from my time there @prestonwood in the late 80s-mid 90s. I know their names. So does Jack.
He refused to help when I contacted him to him report Langworthy. I persisted even with Prestonwood fighting against victims and the prosecution of Langworthy. Thankfully we persisted and succeeded.
I have no doubt Jack has continued to cover up child sex crimes. That is his legacy. #thisisthesbc #sbc26

This is Dee Parsons. @wartwatch was taken over by a crypto who asked me for money. I am trying to get x to do something, but it can take weeks. I want X to shut it down and restore it to me. This is my substitute account for now. @ThouArtTheMan @elonmusk

NEW: Paul Pressler is one of the most influential figures you may have never heard of. The onetime judge remade the Southern Baptist Convention, and helped forge the marriage between the GOP and white evangelicals — all while allegedly abusing for decades.

Jennifer Lyell was the highest ranking female in the Southern Baptist Convention.
Until she came forward with abuse against a Baptist leader.
Now she's dead. Here's what happened.
