Pastor’s arrest brings sex abuse survivors closer to justice

by luxioflashpublished on January 3, 2026



With the arrest of Pastor Joe Campbell earlier this month on child sex abuse charges, the women who have spent decades seek justice for abuse they accuse Campbell of committing may be closer to that goal. Abuse survivor Phaedra Creed talks with Antonia Hylton about her feelings about Campbell’s arrest, the effort it took, and insights her experience offers for women who were abused at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein and his associates.

    To the women who were abused by this man – I believe you. Don't quit. Piece by piece, one at a time, each of these monsters can be put away and those who tried to silence those who were victimized outed. Your bravery and persistence are helping people in similar situations today. Don't ever let anyone shame you into silence!

    Perfect candidate for a Trump pardon (if he can afford it)

  4. @chistineg1416

    How is there still a statute of limitations on r@pe in 2026?

    Evil

  6. @diannadima7082

    There is too much of this happening within Christianity. Just like this current administration is trying to ask for a blind eye to these crimes.

  7. @diannadima7082

    PTL!! Get everyone of them. Victims need to speak up. I know our partents didn't believe us when we were kids. This is wrong. We need to stop this once and for all. Campbell needs to pay for his crimes.

  8. @onelogue

    Religion is the most successful business that was created to PREY on the vulnerable. God is man made!

  11. @AbetterDemocracy1776

  13. @johnholliday13

    Usual suspect

  14. @bartbannister394

    Christians, need I say more?

  15. @katevan9982

    It’s so very sad people knew and said/did nothing to protect children.
    Who determined there is a statute of limitations? I bet they were men.

  16. @glennmorris8787

    Where is MAGA now with the resistance to releasing of the Epstein files?

  17. @anybodycanart

    Put him down!!!!!

  18. @scheeny

    Pentecostal? Not a surprise to me. Grew up among these grifters and con artists. But oh so pious.

  19. @markvincent8949

    The Cult Church of Epstein still has its patrons running amok in the Saintly Whitehouse.

  20. @pattijohnson9457

    The real Christianity that hide behind the word of the Lord, predators whit false prophets.

  21. @Bagowind

    Jesus tried to warn you about wolves in sheep's clothing. Don't trust your kids with anyone who claims authority from God.

  22. @kelzkat

    Dont see women doing this

  23. @kelzkat

    Men r vile

  24. @appnzllr

    another minister who proves that God and Jesus don't exist – otherwise his personality would have changed.

  25. @debvoltolina6143

    I’m sorry but any parent that sends their kids to his camp should be investigated

  26. @billstieh3193

    Release the epstein files now!

  27. @doreenchambers9579

    Why would anyone trust churches

  28. @shakeatailfeather-n5s

    now Nakomis Day Care Center is lying about a break in, liars

  29. @SighsofCicero

    No wonder those guys are anti abortion. Pastors and rich men need a fresh supply. Disgusting. I bet it’s men saying just don’t cause waves.

  30. @GinaJackson-s7w

    This is why I gave up any organized religion!! They’ve ALL become evil!

  31. @Beekind21another

    If Trump could pardon him, he would.

  32. @MaMaf-x2c

    Allowing evil is wrong!!!!
    Accountability allows healing to begin in victims. God wants healing in all…in perps and in victims. Perps were victims too but with choice to move forward and act evil-they need be accountable for that. Period

  34. @jeanettecarter5438

    Excellent trump next

  35. @antonydean9935

    When convicted he can join Maxwell in the same cell so they can abuse eachother.

  36. @intuneorange

    People can vote in new politicians who will consider, like they did in other states to extend the statue of limitations

  37. @Mandy-w3c

    Nobody gives af how he'll plea.

  38. @Klako-ls6yt

    Still not a drag queen

  39. @nochainwayne5674

    Bet ya he’s MAGA too

  40. @FordsRestoration

    Jesus said" not all that say Lord Lord shall enter into the kingdom of God " but only those who do the will of Father God.

  41. @LuisRodriguez-rl5fi

    Release the Epstein files!!!

  42. @Slingbld

    Ashley Biden " I took INAPPROPRIATE SHOWERS with my FATHER". She was 12 years old. She will never have justice. The secret Service protects the monster that ABUSED his own little girl. No one cares.

  43. @thx-wk1jx

    Once again, it wasn't a drag queen. Before any religion tells people how to live they should clean their own house first.
