A former Cedarville University finance professor whose writings promote a Christian ethic of marriage and sexuality was arrested Tuesday on eight sex-related felony charges involving one or more minors.
The indictment, filed March 27 in Ohio’s Greene County Common Pleas Court, charges John Kent Tarwater with two counts of rape, three counts of sexual battery and three counts of gross sexual imposition.
He was booked into Greene County jail in southwest Ohio, where he remained in custody as of Wednesday morning. No defense counsel was listed in public court records, and no hearing or trial dates were disclosed.
The problem is how many people in religious groups will refuse to condemn actions of the religion’s organizations and leaders but keep their “membership”. If you are provided evidence that a group you are a part of is committing heinous shit like systemic child rape but you will neither leave nor vocally condemn it then you are fully compliant in those crimes. If you go further, as most religious people do, and white wash the absolute fuck out of the reality of the crimes of your group and try to spread that bullshit then you are just as guilty as the actual rapists, just as guilty as the “cleaner squads” from the Vatican that help relocate rapist priests.
Yup
