In this post I will continue to focus on R.C. Sproul Jr. He previously pastored St Peter Presbyterian Church, Bristol, Virginia, USA.
In the spring of 2004 Sproul was notified by the Latah County Idaho prosecutor that children under Sproul's charge had been molested by Steven Sitler in the summer of 2003. R.C. Sproul Jr had already received a personal letter of apology from Steven Sitler, naming which of his children he had molested. The implication was made even more clear by the repeated attempts of the Latah County Prosecutor to contact Sproul that Sitler had not just molested Sproul's children. Very likely, Sitler had also molested other children from St Peter Presbyterian Church, pastored by R.C. Sproul Jr. The Latah County Prosecutor attempted on multiple occasions to contact Sproul and to inform him, both in writing and via phone messages, that he could bring criminal charges against Steven Sitler in Virginia. The Prosecutor even conveyed that he would assisst Sitler's extradition to Virginia, should Sproul press charges. Much to the dismay of the Latah County prosecutor Sproul never responded to any of the prosecutor's communiques.
In 2006 Sproul was defrocked by the Westminister Presbytery of the Reformed Presbyterian Church General Assembly for abusing his ministerial authority and misusing another denomination's tax ID number.
Sproul has recently started a new church called Sovereign Grace Fellowship.
My Comment
It is obvious that R.C. Sproul Jr did not care for his children's well being after he was told that they had been molested. Neither did he care for the well being of the children in his congregation who, likewise, might have been molested by Steven Sitler, since he did not even try to work with the Prosecutor to bring him back to Virginia for trial.
