Pastor Terry McDowell arrested

Big surprise here, he’s a Baptist. Alleged pedopastor Terry McDowell was arrested for inappropriately touching a child younger the 4 years of age.

McDowell, pastor of St. Louis' Gateway Southern Baptist Church, is accused of inappropriately touching the child while she was alone with him at his home in St. Louis County. A police press release described McDowell as "a trusted family friend" of the victim and said that he and his wife had been babysitting the child for the last two years.

I don’t have words. What possesses people to hurt children?
