WARNING THIS BLOG HAS GRAPHIC DETAILS OF A MOLESTATION CASE
Tuesday's report on a Fort Myers Pastor accused of molesting children within his parish is one of the most disturbing stories I've covered in some time. Some of the graphic details we didn't broadcast on the air, included accounts from various children. They described the pastor giving them hugs, then running his hands down their pants. They described the pastor making them strip and then he would strip and molest them with his genitals. Their is also an account given by the pastors wife... But it's blocked out. What did she know about all this? Did she keep his secret?
Despite all of the accusations, church members say they still think the Pastor is a great man. "He made a mistake... He will pay the price... But he's still a great role model." Then there is those who choose not to believe the Pastor committed these horrible crimes... despite six children now coming forward.
Six children making all this up? Why?
Fort Myers Police say Pastor Russell Brown confessed to some of the molestation, even expressed remorse. Brown, you need not address your remorse to the police. You were a trusted member of society and a mentor to these children. The embarrassing announcement of your arrest is over... Now step up and address what was your congregation, your community, your family. A church resignation LETTER, hiding the truth behind your abrupt departure, doesn't count.
Brown is charged with life felonies. Meaning if found guilty he will spend the rest of his life (he's 53) in prison. I hope sometime between now and the conviction he comes forward to apologize. I don't know if he should expect forgiveness, though.
Maybe I'm a bit tough on Pastor Brown... but what about those children. Life is forever changed for them.

This guy is discusting I cant even believe people continue to say he is still a great role model. Those people who think that have some serious issues themselves. They need to lock this guy up and throw away the key. Now you cant even take your children to church without them being molested...

He is the furthest thing from a great role model. He is a sicko that needs to reflect upon his decisions while he spends some long, quality time in jail.
