Independent Baptist Preacher accused of sexual harassment and confronted with the proof- weak deacons do nothing

from indystar:

Before the Rev. Jerry Hillenburg could take two steps toward his lectern after the offertory music, Huneycutt began a speech that would turn Sunday morning upside down at Hope Baptist.....listen and watch above.


(The "pastor" Jerry Hillenburg and his sycophant deacons admit he sent the filthy x-rated messages.)


 The messages sent to the former church employee, a woman the pastor had counseled through a divorce last fall, include one in which Hillenburg invites her to join him at a movie theater where he said he was by himself. Another message informs her that "some whore just called me, had my phone number, from some bar, it was wild." Another message tells her: "Text me something dirty."

A youth pastor was arrested this week, accused of having an inappropriate sexual relationship with a 16-year-old girl in a Palm Harbor home.

Scott Dewayne Wright, 35, who lives in New Port Richey, turned himself into Pinellas authorities Monday. He was charged with two counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor.

Detectives say Wright met the teen in September 2006 when he was a youth pastor at Calvary Chapel in New Port Richey.

The next year, according to authorities, Wright befriended the teen, and at least twice between September and November 2007, he engaged in sexual activity with her.

In 2005, Wright was featured in the St. Petersburg Times in a story about a weekly program for teens at Calvary Chapel.

"We have a youth that is in crisis, and we need to reach out to them before it's too late," said Wright, who headed the program.

Wright later worked for the Crossing Church in Tampa [Willow Creek associated, "seeker friendly" Southern Baptist Convention member] for a period of time, according to the church's Web site. Tuesday evening, a church pastor there said Wright no longer works there.

According to his biography on the Web site, Wright is married with four children. The site, which referred to Wright as "Pastor Scott" said he began working at that church as student director in 2007. It also said that he "has a great drive to take youth on overseas missions trips every year."
