Baptist youth pastor Ryan Scott Rodgers surrendered to police on charges of having sex with two teen males. The abuse allegedly took place for over a year with grooming activity extending back even farther. Rodgers had been on the run before turning himself in. Rodgers was a youth pastor at several baptist churches in Jefferson and Plaquemines Parishes in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Baptist youth pastor Jonathan Bailey was arrested on a 13-count indictment alleging a patter of predatory conduct with underage children.This case hit the press in March. I found the it while reading about the Rodgers case noted above. There is no known connection between the two men even though they operated in the same area. Bailey was the youth pastor at First Baptist Church in New Orleans, Louisiana. The church fired him after the abuse surfaced, but they hired him despite similar allegations at another church. Perhaps they did not know about it, or perhaps the structure of the Southern Baptist Convention that does not allow for proper tracking and reporting of pedophile pastors.
- Bailey also served at Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, Georgia.
