At least 188 Christian & Republican leaders have been accused of child abuse this year - LGBTQ Nation

""Conservative Christian leaders are such prolific groomers and abusers of kids, the news is so full of these stories, they are published in such a rapid-fire manner, that if you let it go ANY MORE THAN A MONTH, then it will take you hours and hours and hours and days and weeks to compile an update," Hurst wrote in his most recent update."

""Hurst's lists - which can be viewed here, here, and here - all link to local reports of church and GOP leaders being accused of abusing kids. His most recent update, published on Halloween, featured 49 new names of accused child abusers and pedophiles. In fact, Hurst is having such a hard time keeping up with updates that he has asked for donors and subscribers to aid in his continuing efforts.""

A running compilation has identified 188 Christian and Republican leaders this year who have been accused, sued, or convicted of abusing or exploiting children, with the most recent update adding 49 new names. The compilation links to local reports documenting allegations involving church and GOP leaders and emphasizes the volume and rapid pace of such stories compared with far fewer allegations involving drag queens, trans people, or LGBTQ+ individuals. The compiler requested donations and subscriber assistance to keep the list current due to the frequency of reports. The compilation contrasts concerns about Epstein with abuse within Baptist and conservative Christian institutions.
