A recent email has shed new light on Texas House candidate Jared Woodfill’s involvement in a Southern Baptist leader’s sex abuse scandal. The email, which was leaked to The Texas Tribune, reveals that Woodfill was aware of the abuse allegations against Southern Baptist leader Paige Patterson back in 2018.
Woodfill, who is running for a seat in the Texas House of Representatives, was serving as the attorney for Paul Pressler, another prominent Southern Baptist leader who was being sued for sexual abuse. In the email, Woodfill discusses the allegations against Patterson and expresses concern about how they might impact Pressler’s case.
This revelation has raised questions about Woodfill’s knowledge of the abuse scandal and his actions in handling the situation. Woodfill has denied any wrongdoing and stated that he was simply doing his job as Pressler’s attorney.
The email has sparked controversy within the Southern Baptist community and has led to calls for Woodfill to drop out of the race for the Texas House. Some critics believe that Woodfill’s involvement in the scandal reflects poorly on his character and makes him unfit to serve as a state representative.
Woodfill’s campaign has not yet commented on the controversy surrounding the email. However, the issue is likely to have a significant impact on his candidacy as voters consider his role in the Southern Baptist leader’s sex abuse scandal.
