A Broward minister was charged with sexual battery after he impregnated a teen congregant of a small neighborhood church, authorities said Wednesday.
Plantation police charged the Rev. Cory Cortezis Lewis, 33, with sexual battery on a victim between 12 and 18 by a custodian.

.....

Lewis knew the teen her entire life, acting as both her minister and godfather, Plantation police spokesman Detective Phil Toman said. In 2006, he brought her to an empty house and a vacant business in Plantation, where he had sex with her on multiple occasions, Toman said.

Eventually, she got pregnant. At the time, she was 15.

''He was her godfather,'' Toman said. 'She referred to him as `Daddy.' He was her minister and neighbor and friend of the family. He was trusted.''
Lewis wanted the girl to have an abortion, fearing the baby would damage his religious reputation. .

As the victim's pregnancy became obvious, Lewis confessed to the teen's family he had had sex with her, but said the baby wasn't his, according to court records.
He later confessed to the entire church congregation.

"Lewis wanted the girl to have an abortion,"

:puke:

gotta control the sheeple, while acting as though your rules don't apply to you.

LOL

Really would like to know.

His actions are very, very sad. Abuse a minor while in a particularly powerful position over same. Then try to get minor to have an abortion to save his reputation. Then admit to having sex with minor but claim not to have fathered child. (I read that as: hey, yeah, I boinked her, but I'm not the daddy so she must be boinking a lot; all her fault). THEN he doesn't like the name of the baby?

:wtf:

Women ARE NOT UTILITIES. Young women are not fair game if you can just keep them from holding you responsible for your abuse.

:grr:

Well, All righty then.

seven.

At least.

The guy doesn't like the name the girl gives the baby, so he gets her to change it to "Cory Cortezis Lewis II". Then he gets pissed off that his wife finds out!

Oh, I think things were ugly at that church long before then...
