It appears that this story may be a complete fake. A search for the name of the defendant lists someone in Oklahoma, not Oregon. The face is also entirely different. Let this be a warning to others, do not believe everything you read. Thank you, @devnull406@lemmy.world
The following is the excerpt from the news site.
In a shocking revelation, an Oregon pastor has been implicated in a series of sexual abuse allegations, casting a shadow over the otherwise peaceful town of McMinnville. Identified as Andrew Nyles Lackey, the pastor faces a litany of serious charges including multiple counts of rape, sodomy, and sexual abuse, all involving minors.
The website linked here is the only thing that comes up when you search for more details. The author cites no sources and it sounds like AI written drivel. I did find an arrest for similar charges by someone with this name but in a different state with totally different pictures.
Can we get some sources for this? Or is it totally fabricated
Thanks for catching this. I’ll leave it up, but with an update as a warning to others.
