... um, explain why you think it's so important that Christians are informed, um, about what happened, uh, to Micah Miller and, and about similar situations.
3:41
Well, what happened to Micah Miller in some ways is unique in its awfulness because she ended up dead, and most abuse situations that I've reported on, I mean, rarely does it end up with the victim either taking her own life, although there's a lot of question about, uh, and the circumstances surrounding that, and I know there's plenty of people who have questioned whether John Paul could have actually done it himself and made it look like a suicide.
4:12
Um, but that, that part of it is unique because that it doesn't normally end in that, although I will say there have been, uh, abuse situations, and, and I would say this is adult clergy sexual abuse, where, uh, Micah was preyed on, I would say, by John Paul Miller.
4:31
And, and it, it, it is not a situation where you have two people who are on a, a level playing field when you have a pastor who is, you know, 15 years older than her and, uh, initiating what they called a relationship.
4:47
I would say it was adult clergy sexual abuse.
4:50
Um, but adult clergy sexual abuse happens a lot, and the s- the circumstances surrounding what happened to Micah Miller are not that unique.
5:01
It is not unique for, sadly, for these predator pastors to groom somebody under them, to do it over a period of many years, to begin breaking down the, the boundaries, and to do it slowly in such a way that they're unsuspecting.
