Reformers Unanimous, the Christian rehabilitation center Josh Duggar checked into last Friday for sex addiction, is run by a pastor who is allegedly protecting a sexual predator from prosecution by keeping him overseas, according to religious website Patheos.
"Josh Duggar checked into Reformers Unanimous (RU), a Christian residential addiction treatment program in Rockford, Illinois, run by North Love Baptist Church and co-founded by the church's authoritarian Independent Fundamentalist Baptist (IFB) pastor, Paul Kingsbury," the report reads. "Over the past twenty-four-hours, I have spoken with a number of individuals involved with or affected by either North Love or Kingsbury. Of primary importance are allegations that Kingsbury is actively supporting an accused sex offender, Richard DeVall, who is serving as a missionary in Bolivia and is sponsored by North Love Baptist Church. ..."
Devall's alleged victim purportedly got in touch with the Baptist Pioneer Mission Agency, asking it to extradite the accused back to the United States so that he could face criminal charges. DeVall refused to return, indicating that the issue would be resolved biblically. The mission allegedly protected Devall by helping him stay abroad, according to The Inquisitr.
In addition, it has become known that a former pastor at the Reformers Unanimous was imprisoned for having sex with an underage girl in his office during a church conference in 2012 after telling her "God approves." Jack Allen Schaap, 56, pleaded guilty to one felony count of criminal sexual assault in a deal he made with prosecutors and is currently serving a 12-year prison sentence for his crimes, according to the Daily Mail.
