Only a matter of barely three weeks after the CREC declared that the defrocked RC Sproul Jr was "considered ordained" in the CREC, the CREC's founder Doug Wilson has once again found himself embroiled in another Christ Church/NSA scandal. This scandal is likely to be the biggest one of his scandal ridden career.
The allegations are running hot and heavy on the Moscow listserve, Vision 2020 that Doug Wilson is at the center of a New Saint Andrews student pedophile cover up. First to expose the lurid details of the scandal is former Christ Church member Michael Metzler. Others, including Little Geneva and Hammerman have also picked up on the story. In fact, it seems that Hammerman even predicted that a sex scandal was about to be exposed, based on his read of Doug Wilson's own blog postings.
Yet, in spite of the significance of the story the rest of the blogsphere remains strangely silent. Given some time we're sure that will change.
Convicted pedophile and NSA student/Christ Church member Stephen Sitler was aided in his defense by none other than Doug Wilson. In a letter to Judge John Stegner, Doug Wilson asks that the sentence be "measured and limited." Judge Stegner reduced Sitler's sentence from life to one year.
We don't doubt that it took more than Wilson's letter begging for leniency for Sitler to get such a light sentence. It also takes an excellent defense attorney, and for that Wilson turned to none other than NSA attorney Dean Wullenwaber. The question on many people's minds right now is why was the school's own attorney used to defend a pedophile who, from some accounts, molested over 100 children in several states, including Idaho, Washington, and Virginia?
Now it's come out that Steven Sitler isn't the only pervert in the NSA student body. Recently sentenced also is Jamin Wight, who had sexual relations for some 18 months with a 14 year old girl, the daughter of the Christ Church family that he boarded with.
NSA students are all boarded off-campus in the homes of Christ Church members. "Kirkers" as they are called are opposed to birth control and, not surprisingly, often have large families with lots of small children. With working Kirker dads away from home all day working, and busy moms often not able to pay attention to what's going on at all times, this no doubt makes for easy prey for pedophiles.
Doug Wilson's response so far has been anything but pastoral. No surprise there. Rather than taking responsibility Wilson has gone on the attack against "scurrilous bloggers" (that would include us) and in particular against Michael Metzler.
By his own admission Doug Wilson waited some eight months after Sitler's arrest to notify Kirkers, and he has yet to produce any evidence that he even notified any Kirkers at all. Though Sitler early admitted that he had molested many children, it now appears that Wilson made no attempts to determine how widespread Sitler's victims extended throughout the Kirk, and throughout the greater Moscow community. From all appearances there was a cover up.
Adding to the concerns of Moscow residents is the fact that Sitler remained free for a number of months after he confessed to his crimes, and prior to his being sentenced and incarcerated. Even now that he has been sentenced and jailed he is freed twice per week to drive unsupervised to his sex predator rehabilitation "treatment" center many miles from the jail. Anxieties run high in Moscow that a convicted serial child molester continues to be given so much liberty to travel and opportunities to prey on more victims.
Doug Wilson has shown every bit as much humanistic concern as the Latah County justice system has for Sitler's "rehabilitation." Neither have shown any regard for justly punishing Sitler for his heinous crimes. However, now that the scandal is being exposed, along with Doug Wilson's complicity in it, Wilson's chief concern is for salvaging his tattered image.
So who is scandal-ridden Doug Wilson to clear anyone else's name, like RC Sproul Jr?
