Almost 400 Southern Baptist church leaders and workers over the past 20 years have faced allegations of sexual abuse from more than 700 victims—a joint investigation by two Texas newspapers revealed.
Results of a six-month investigation conducted by The Houston Chronicle and the San Antonio Express-News and published on Feb. 10, found the majority of the 380 clergy accused of sexual misconduct have been convicted or taken plea deals. But it also revealed a number of them had continued to work in the ministry with no punishment.
