Ellen,<br> <br> The police knew about the allegations and Sitler had ZERO access to members of the congregation's children. With that being the case, Wilson had no legal authority to gossip about a member of his congregation before trial and would have been interfering with the case and investigation if he had. <br> <br>So people are simply trying to make the case, unsuccessfully, that Wilson placed children in his congregation at risk of being exploited by Sitler after it was discovered he was harming children. This is false, the police will tell you it is false, and not one shred of evidence can be presented that contradicts that fact. These are unfounded accusations based on speculation with an intent to assassinate the character of Douglas Wilson. If Wilson had Sitler chained in his basement during the investigation I am sure several people would be saying the same thing.<br> <br> Wilson did not enable Sitler to molest children. I know several want it
to be true, because that would destroy Wilson. But it isn't. So let us hear a new unfounded allegation already so we can show that one is untrue like the others. <br> <br> I heard Wilson told a six year old boy there was no Santa--rumor, speculation, doesn't matter, this is Division 2020. <br> <br> Best Regards,<br> <br> _DJA<br><br><b><i>Ellen Roskovich <gussie443@hotmail.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <div style=""><div class="RTE"> <div><strong>Donovan. . .

He gave Sitler<br>8 months of grace,whereby any small children
he'd<br>molested could get confused and foggy on the details<br>of what happened to them. He abused children as young<br>as two years of age. Eight months is a long time for<br>the parents of all the two year olds in your church<br>not to be told they might have been exposed to a<br>molester.<br><br>It's not his fault Sitler was a creep. It's not his<br>fault that Sitler put himself in a position where he<br>had access to children- that's what predators of his<br>type do. It's not his fault that kids were molested.<br>But it is his fault that he didn't make that<br>information available immediately to his flock so that<br>they could check with their children and make sure no<br>harm had been done. If there are any children Sitler<br>molested (or young girls that other man tampered with)<br>that Wilson </font><div></div><font style="font-size: 11px; font-family: tahoma,sans-serif;">didn't know about because he trusted<br>Sitler's word, then Wilson is responsible for
the<br>eight month period those children have been left alone<br>with the pain and horror they experienced, with nobody<br>to treat them, to help them, to reassure them because<br>Wilson decided his church did not need to know a child<br>molester had been with them until the sentencing.<br>It is inexcusable not to let the flock in on this<br>until eight months have gone by and the ability of the<br>smallest victims to recount what happened to them<br>completely lost. It was inexcusable to take Sitler's<br>word for it that he'd told Wilson everything.<br>Accountability alone would demand that he would check<br>up on Sitler's story as best he could, and basic<br>concern for the children would require that he let<br>parents know asap so that they could make sure their<br>children hadn't been injured.<br><br>The parents in your church should have known within<br>days of the confession, Mr. </font><div></div><font style="font-size: 11px; font-family:

Maybe Sitler wasn't as<br>reliable as Wilson thought- and it's not Wilson paying<br>for that, it's any other children he molested that he<br>didn't tell Wilson about.<br>If Wilson was concerned about that possibility, he'd<br>have let his flock know 8 months sooner than he did,<br>but it looks to me like the only concerns he had were<br>to protect himself- maybe he just didn't want fresh<br>accusations coming out against Sitler. After all,<br>NSA's lawyer had the supposedly 'repentant' Sitler<br>plea bargain down to pleading guilty to only count,<br>even though he had confessed to others.<br><br>And that members of his flock can defend him for<br>keeping this vital information to himself for all<br>those
months is just </font><div></div><font style="font-size: 11px; font-family: tahoma,sans-serif;">totally disturbing. What's WRONG<br>with you sycophants?<br><br>If my pastor told me "Eight months ago a man<br>accustomed to visiting our church confessed to abusing<br>some children, and he's going to be sentenced tthis<br>month, so you should all know about it now," I would<br>be furious.<br><br>__________________________________________________<br>Do You Yahoo!?<br>Tired of spam?
