Teen victim shames Christian pop singer at 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.

“You kept me silent for a year and a half, and I want you to know you no longer have control over me,” the victim said in court. “This is not your story. This is my story and I will use it to help other victims. You picked the wrong girl to mess with. Thank you for empowering me to stand up and fight for what is worth fighting for.”
