HOUSTON—A former United Methodist Minister is named in a multi-million dollar civil suit filed by a woman who claims that she was sexually abused for years while senior church members failed to take any action to prevent it.

“He had complete control over my mind and my body,” said the woman referred to as Jane Doe in court documents.

Doe read from a prepared statement at her Houston attorney’s office.

“We lived as husband and wife in private, but in public I had to call him daddy,” she said.
