  • Bobi Gephart stood before her entire church in Warsaw, Indiana, and accused the pastor of having sex with her when she was a teenager. Now 43, she says the secret has haunted her for nearly three decades. Pastor John Lowe made a "confession" during Sunday service, but Bobi says it was not the entire truth. She and her husband stormed the stage to reveal everything. As they left the stage, members of the congregation embraced her and demanded answers.

      I understand you can't tell someone right away. But at 16 unfortunately at least in Canada that's not rape. She called it a relationship in which I am assuming she consented. So why wait Thirty Years. Also, was it so terrible that she felt it was necessary to have him officiate her wedding? I have sympathy that she feels she was victimized. But I don't see her as a victim.

Second of all, I’m sure this was a smaller area of town where the pastor was involved in every aspect of the community, so him being the pastor at her wedding makes perfect sense (especially sense she said that she tried her best to block out all of her trauma- which is very common in VICTIMS of sexual assault).

    The story brought me to tears. The pastor tried to palm off an illicit affair of adultery when it truly was rape of a minor. He misrepresented what he had done to such a degree that it was unbearable for the couple. I’m so glad that God gave her the strength to come forward and tell her story so that the pastor would fully take responsibility for what he had done. Grooming and rape of a minor is not adultery. Asking for forgiveness is not all that he can do. I hope this woman collects handsomely from him personally and the church.

I am mature, I am basically an adult, not a normal child, I've been through a lot. It may be wrong for normal kids, but for us I'm mature and this is normal and special like he says. I can't even imagine how much harder it would be with the religious influence and the man being commonly known as a "good" and "righteous" one.

    This woman’s story has just stuck with me since it happened. I hope she knows how many people stand behind her. And NONE of this is her fault. For anyone to suggest she should have said something at any point, stop blaming the victim. She was groomed and a literal child when this started.

      The 🐊🐊 gather hidden below at the water's edge because they know the prey will eventually show up in droves to be fed individually.
      If the 🐊 waits in the forest, the prey is always on the alert & attentive with eyes & ears in the peripheral.
      Get the prey all in one place, let them get comfortable enough to let down their guard, isolate one, strike.
      It takes patience but ultimately, they find a victim among the herd & typically it's the young & inexperienced.

    She continued a sexual relationship with the married pastor for 9 years after she was deflowered at 16 and still attend the pastor's church until 40s. She had been over 20 for 5 long years in that 9 years and didn't stop the illicit encounter until she married at 25 which you would think make her a complicit mistress. I can understand if it was just that one time at 16 but she voluntarily return for more until adulthood. 🤔

      the only smart comment in the middle of all this emotional rubbish, she has sex with him for 9 years by consent then suddenly she decides that he is a predator !! we dont know the full details people just judge by emotions
      did he really force her or black mail her ??
      is 16 not an adult who has reached puberty ?

    This was done to me when I was 16 by a 32 year old man. Not a pastor, but a grown man nonetheless. Until this day I wish I had the courage to tell the world and expose him for the sicko he was. I admire her so much.

    @ 3:32 it got me a lil emotional to see the way the person grabbed her and embraced her, the only reason why is because I know some people will be so set in their religion that they won’t even try to believe that what she went through is true…the amount of love she received from others after exposing him of his awful ways is just amazing. She deserves love and I hope she is thriving!

    He never had any intention of coming forward. Had he not have been confronted by the brother, he would never have "confessed". The only reason he told the church is because he knew the truth was gonna come out. So he decided to tell some extremely vague version of the truth hoping the church would have his back. God will punish him.

    It's heart breaking to see that this woman had to go through that, as well as the congregation having to hear that their own pastor, someone they looked up to, committed a grave sin. I am praying for the woman affected by this, as well as the church and even the pastor himself. I pray that they all heal from this, and I pray this pastor repents before our holy God and restore his relationship with Him. Prayers for everyone involved. 🙏🙏
