Not just Evangelical churches. Catholic churches (and dioceses) do it too, as do many other Protestant churches.

There used to be a Website called Reformation(dot)com which detailed the thousands of Protestant pastors or churches busted and people sent to trial and jail for the exact same things.

This is not an Evangelical problem. It is a Religion problem.

(The Website was put out of business in June of this year. The last screen capture can be found at web.archive.org where they list all the cases against Protestant churches and ministers of all denominations)

Your bias is showing. Most studies show sexual abuse by priests are in line with sexual abuse by most professions that have regular contact with children. Organizations of all types tend to try to cover it up as well. It can be argued that churches should be held to a higher standard, because well…they’re churches, but it most certainly isn’t a religion problem.

The private school industry is rife with sexual abuse scandals that go on for decades.
