Statement by David Clohessy of St. Louis, Director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (314 566 9790, SNAPclohessy@aol.com)

A Springfield, TN youth minister has been charged with the murder of his 21 year old fiancee. This is an extremely troubling case.

[East Idaho News]

We are saddened that an innocent girl lost her life. We are troubled that Charles Pittman was the youth minister at Providence Baptist Church and is now accused of murder. Anyone who experienced, witnessed or suspects any other abusive behavior from Pittman should immediately report to police. We also hope university and church officials will do outreach to any potential victims.

Our hearts go out to the victim’s family.
