After Bobi Gephart was caught on video confronting Warsaw, Indiana Pastor John Lowe, she's received an outpouring of support.
WARSAW, Ind. -- Bobi Gephart hadn't planned to go to church that Sunday - not to the worship service where the pastor intended to make a confession about the oppressive secret she had carried for so long.
John B. Lowe II, the congregation's longtime pastor, confessed on stage to"adultery" 20 years earlier."I sinned," he said, acknowledging he never previously admitted it publicly"to protect myself." "I didn't realize how much this is helping and will help people," she said. People"not just in this area but all over the world are reaching out to me. Their stories are so heartbreaking."
Bobi Gephart said she spoke with police but acknowledged prosecution of Lowe may be unlikely because of the passage of time and because Indiana law defines the age of sexual consent at 16. She said she's aware of other past abuse within the church. RELATED: Chicago Archdiocese names Father George Clements as abuser in $800K priest sex abuse settlement
