A Houston family has filed a lawsuit the Second Baptist Church for its role in the sexual assault of a 12-year-old girl.
The lawsuit claims that the megachurch’s youth pastor Chad Foster used his position to abuse teenagers, CultureMap Houston reported.
Second Baptist Church is led by senior pastor Ed Young and has some 65,000 members across five campuses with an annual budget of $53 million.
The church is accused of giving Foster the opportunity to interact with public school students without giving him proper training when dealing with minors.
