Let’s All Read This Lawsuit About Creepy Assaulting (Allegedly!!) Masturbating Quiverfull Pastor Guy
Last year, Douglas Phillips, the head of Vision Forum Ministries, one of those deeply creepy Quiverfull churches, and total superfriend of Clown Car Vagina Family Duggars, stepped down after revealing he’d had a “lengthy, inappropriate affair” with a ladyperson. He kinda sorta forgot to mention that the “inappropriate affair” was actually a 6-year pattern of (ALLEGEDLY, JESUS) grooming and sexually abusing one of his parishioners, which is actually a tad more than inappropriate. Now the woman, Lourdes Torres-Manteufel, has sued Phillips and Vision Forum Ministries and the complaint, as the kids say, is a doozy.
How many counts does this lawsuit contain? All of them, Katie! She’s suing Phillips for assault, battery, sexual battery, inflicting emotional distress upon her, and frauding her (more on that later), and suing Vision Forum for negligent supervision and retention, which basically means they knew full well he was sexually assaulting Torres and decided to do nothing about it and let him stay on as leader. That is a lot of things! Let’s lawsplain AND read the best/worst parts of the 30-page complaint, shall we?
