HOUSTON –
A family is suing two popular Houston churches, accusing them of failing to protect their daughter from a sexual predator working as a youth minister.
Second Baptist Church and Community of Faith were named in the lawsuit filed in a Harris County court earlier this week.
The plaintiffs in the lawsuit are the family of a teen girl who was allegedly victimized by Chad Foster, a former youth pastor for both Second Baptist and Community of Faith.
Foster admitted to making online sexual advances to the girl. He met at her school when she was 12 years old. He pleaded guilty to online solicitation of a minor. Foster also pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl he also met at school in his role as youth pastor. Foster is currently serving a five-year prison sentence.
The lawsuit claims Second Baptist Church didn’t train Foster to work with minors and knew about Foster’s sinister agenda.
