NEW BERLIN — A ministry with connections to the Duggar family is being sued — and a New Berlin pastor has found himself on the defensive. He and others are accused of covering up years of sexual abuse allegations.
The lawsuit claims Pastor David York hid or ignored serious accusations of sexual misconduct against children — not in New Berlin, but at a ministry in Illinois with a very controversial leader.
Pastor York leads services at Crossroads Community Church on Moorland Road in New Berlin. But it’s his service at another ministry that has him and other facing a possible multi-million dollar lawsuit.
York sits on the board of the Institute for Basic Life Principles — based in Oak Brook, Illinois.
A new lawsuit claims the ministry’s board turned a cold shoulder to years of sexual abuse allegations.
“They have done everything wrong. They’ve chosen to cover it up, hide it,” David Gibbs III, attorney said.
