Christian pop singer Jordan Baird is also an accused "deceiver, a manipulator and a sexual predator"
‘You picked the wrong girl to mess with’: Teen victim shames Christian pop singer at sex abuse sentencing
https://www.rawstory.com/2018/02/picked-wrong-girl-mess-teen-victim-shames-christian-pop-singer-sex-abuse-sentencing/
A teenage girl confronted her former youth leader at a Virginia megachurch as he was sentenced for sexually abusing her.
Jordan Baird was convicted on five counts of indecent liberties with a minor by a custodian after a four-day trial, and jurors recommended a five-month jail term as punishment, reported the Prince William Times.
The 26-year-old Warrenton man used his position as a Christian pop singer and the son of Life Church’s leader to manipulate girls and women into having inappropriate relationships, according to prosecutors.
Prosecutors told jurors that Baird was a “deceiver, a manipulator and a sexual predator” who groomed the underage victim for abuse and sent her sexually suggestive text messages before groping her at the megachurch multiple times between January and September 2015.
