HOUSTON –
The mother of a girl who was targeted by her youth pastor says the pastor exposed himself online via Skype during secret video-chat sessions. For the first time, the girl’s mother spoke publicly and only to Local 2 Investigates.
“It began with texting several times a day and then it went into Skyping,” the girl’s mother said.
She said she had no idea her daughter was being preyed upon.
“He would expose himself,” the mom told investigative reporter Jace Larson.
The woman, who asked that she and her daughter not be identified, has filed a lawsuit against two churches where former pastor Chad Foster worked. She is suing Second Baptist and Community of Faith churches. The mother says the churches are partially responsible.
Foster is currently in prison after being found guilty of online solicitation of a minor and sex assault involving another girl.
“After that, my daughter no longer believed in God,” the mother said.
