Male Coach At Oregon Christian Bible School Molests Female Students

"Edward Todd Woods, former head girls basketball coach at Newberg's Open Bible Christian School, was sentenced Monday afternoon in Yamhill County Circuit Court to 180 days in jail and three years probation. " So says the report in the McMinnville, Oregon News-Register.

Seem that this coach lured his female students with alcohol and then had sex with them. He also tried to tamper with a witness in the case. Sounds like real "Christian" behavior to me.

The sad thing, besides the fact that innocent students were assaulted, is that had this coach been diddling boys, this story would have been all over the news nationally. I guess raping girls is just so common that it doesn't make it to the wire services. The Christian angle is another strange fact. As a Christian myself, I am appalled that someone trusted with the safety and education of young people would try to exploit them sexually.

Unfortunately, most sex crimes are committed by the dangerous heterosexual population. It is appalling that a Bible school would endanger their youth by hiring heterosexual teachers.
