Anti-Gay Preachers Arrested for Soliciting Sex With Boys

Two preachers known for their anti-gay rhetoric in Florida and Pennsylvania have been arrested for soliciting sex with boys under the age of 16. ...

Police reported seeing a 15-year-old boy walking away from {the car of 46-year-old Rev. Hewart Lee Bennett}. The boy told them Bennett asked for directions to his house and demanded he get in the car. The boy said he gave him a fake address and ran.

A Pennsylvania preacher who spent years using a bullhorn to rail at passers-by on college campuses about "fornicators," "whores" and "sodomites" was arraigned Thursday after being accused by a 14-year-old of soliciting a sex act.

Rev. Stephen White, 40, a preacher at University of Pennsylvania and various local churches, is known in the area for traveling to college campuses and giving "fire and brimstone" speeches against homosexuality.

8. I googled the first line and found it

http://www.gfn.com/news/story.phtml?sid=14622
Also "Police say Bennett admitted that he talked about sex with children online, but only described sex acts to gain their trust and tell them about the love of Jesus."

Who knew that Jesus was a pederast???
