![]() It’s been a while since I’ve blogged here. (I have added paragraphs for easier readability, the content remains entirely unchanged.) I applaud her for her bravery and honesty in speaking out. She wants the truth to be exposed to prevent it from happening again. I think it is very clear to see that Natalie is not an angry, bitter, vindictive person. “Repentant” pedophiles remain in good standing.ĭoug Wilson and Christ Church’s actions show victims and potential victims are not defended, protected, and supported well, if at all.īelow is Natalie’s recent blog post after Wilson has once again been in the public spotlight due to recent updates on the Steven Sitler sex abuse case. The common factors in this case and the convicted pedophile case of Steven Sitler, also a Christ Church member are apparent:ĭoug Wilson and Christ Church’s actions and words show that he defends pedophiles before victims. After Natalie left, she received an e-mail saying they would withhold communion until meeting with elders.Natalie was placed in church discipline.Wilson and Christ Church placed blame on Natalie, saying she consented ( at the age of 13!!!).Natalie and her father left Christ Church Wight remained a member of good standing at Christ Church, which understandably presented a very uncomfortable environment for Natalie.“We were encouraged to go to mediation rather than to trial, and at the last minute the visiting judge decided the sentence/label of ‘sexual offender’ was too harsh”.“on the day of the sentencing my former pastor and my abuser’s pastor sat on *his* side of the courtroom”. ![]() “I was offered little to no support from the church I attended”.Where does Wilson come in? Here are some important complaints that Natalie has raised and important issues raised in the Homeschoolers Anonymous article: Wight pled guilty to that much-reduced charge and was able to made a deal such that he only had to serve 4-6 months in the North Idaho Correctional Institution. Then on May 12, 2006, Wight’s charges were reduced to a Felony Offense of Injury to a Child. Wight pled not guilty to all three charges. Court documents show that on October 28, 2005, Wight was arraigned and informed that three charges were being brought against him, one count of Sex Abuse Against a Child and two counts of Lewd Conduct With a Child Under Sixteen Years of Age. A warrant for Wight’s arrest was issued the next day. On August 24, 2005, a search warrant was issued the Latah County, Idaho district court for Wight’s personal possessions that provided evidence of the abuse. On that day, after receiving word of the abuse, the girl’s mother filed a criminal complaint against Wight. This began a long and difficult process for the abuse survivor, a process which reached fruition on August 17, 2005. That friend convinced her to go to her parents and the police and press charges. In 2004, when she was 17 years old, she confided in a friend about the abuse. She began experiencing insomnia, stomach ulcers, and panic attacks she suffered serious behavioral problems, mood swings, and painful flashbacks. The abuse wrecked havoc on the abused girl. (Wight was only charged for abuse that occurred over 1 year, from 2001 to 2002, but the abuse survivor today says the abuse actually happened over a span of 3 years, from the time she was 13 until she was 16.) Like Wight, the 13 year old girl was also homeschooled. Wight was a boarder at the home where the girl lived, the home being part of Wilson’s student boarding network among Christ Church’s parishioners. The following quote and other information in this background comes from this article:īetween the years of 20, Wight - who was 24 years old at the time - groomed and sexually abused a young girl who was only 13 years old when the abuse began. ![]() Wight Story: The Other Child Molester in Doug Wilson’s Closet.
