Acusan a un pastor de abuso sexual: prometía sacarles el demonio
lunes, 22 de julio de 2019 · 12:52
El aberrante episodio tuvo lugar la Iglesia Presbiteriana de Linden, Nueva Jersey. Donde un ministro presbiteriano está acusado de agredir sexualmente a varios fieles con el pretexto de "exorcizar espíritus malignos que habitaban en sus cuerpos".
El reverendo Dr. William Weaver, de 69 años, presuntamente les dijo a los jóvenes que necesitaba “succionar” sus demonios a través de su semen, citando rituales de los nativos estadounidenses y un verso de la Epístola a los Efesios, donde se indica a los cristianos: “Pónganse toda la armadura de Dios”.
Tres hombres afirman que el reverendo Dr. William Weaver realizó actos sexuales con ellos cuando acudieron a él cuando lo consultaron en privado para recibir consejos en la Iglesia Presbiteriana Linden.
“Me levantó la cabeza y me miró a los ojos, diciendo, “Ya no tienes de qué preocuparte, ahora yo soy tu protector”, declaración de una de las víctimas.
Uno de víctimas, afirma que comenzó a acudir a Weaver por problemas familiares en 2000, cuando tenía 20 años. “Me rehúso a permanecer en silencio”, escribió en su declaración. “Necesito asegurarme de que esto nunca le vuelva a pasar a nadie”.
La justicia deberá actuar
El 25 de enero estaba programado un juicio eclesiástico, pero Weaver renunció al Presbiterio y a su jurisdicción el día anterior. Posteriormente, se mudó a una comunidad de retiro a puertas cerradas en Lakewood, a una hora de Linden.
En junio pasado, los tres hombres, junto con una mujer que afirma que Weaver la atacó de manera similar, presentaron una demanda judicial en el Tribunal Superior de Middlesex County. Además de Weaver, también demandaron a la Iglesia Presbiteriana de Linden, al Presbiterio de Elizabeth y a la Iglesia Presbiteriana (de Estados Unidos).

Acusan a pastor de abuso sexual durante ceremonia de “exorcismo”
Por lo menos 4 personas han denunciado a un pastor que pertenece a una iglesia presbiteriana en Linden, New Jersey, llamado William Weaver, quien ha sido acusado de acusar y abusar sexualmente de esto y otros feligreses durante una ceremonia de “exorcismo”.
Según la denuncia de 3 hombres y una mujer, estos se acercaron al reverendo Weaver para tratar de buscar una solución a diversos problemas que tenían en su vida. El pastor de 69 años lo que hacía era ofrecer “consultas privadas” para llevar a cabo una especie de ritual, en donde aseguraba a los fieles que al expulsar su semen mediante sexo oral, podía “alejar a todos los demonios” que estaban perturbando sus vidas.
Algunas declaraciones fueron publicadas por el sitio web de Newsweek, en donde las víctimas de este pastor indicaron que este les ordenaba desnudarse y acostarse para iniciar el ritual de “exorcismo”. Luego les colocaba una “moneda de ángel” en la frente y los hacía cargar piedras en las manos mientras él les practicaba sexo oral.
“Me niego a permanecer en silencio por más tiempo. Tengo que asegurarme de que esto nunca vuelva a pasarle a nadie más”, comentó AJ Meeker, uno de los hombres afectados, quien comenzó a visitar al pastor Weaver en el año 2000 y a partir de ese momento, comenzó a vivir un martirio.
Tras las denuncias, las autoridades comenzaron una investigación en contra del pastor, descubriendo entre sus pertenencias material pornográfico y otras cosas que fueron calificadas como “múltiples actos de idolatría y conducta sexual inapropiada”.
Weaver se defendió asegurando que lo único que ha hecho es poner en práctica ciertos rituales nativos americanos y algunas cosas que hay en textos religiosos para obtener así toda la protección divina.

Pastor Credibly Accused of Using Oral Sex to Exorcise Men’s “Evil Spirits”

A New Jersey pastor has been credibly accused of using oral sex during exorcisms to extract “evil spirits” from men.
So that’s what they’re calling it these days.
The Rev. Dr. William Weaver, a Presbyterian minister who served as pastor at Linden Presbyterian Church for nearly 40 years, allegedly said he was following the Bible when he used Native American rituals (and oral sex) to remove demons from troubled church members.
Unfortunately, instead of being punished through the justice system (where he has not been charged with any crimes), he only received the threat of punishment through an internal church court… and even that didn’t get anywhere.
Weaver, 69, was scheduled to face his three accusers during an internal church trial… He was accused by the church of “multiple acts of idolatry and sexual misconduct.”
The church charges have no bearing on the secular government’s civil and criminal courts. No public charges have been filed against Weaver. The men said they did report the sexual encounters to authorities, but the Union County Prosecutor’s Office said they could not confirm nor deny information regarding this matter.
What would an internal church trial have done? In theory, Weaver could have lost his ordination and been booted from the Presbyterian Church… which could be punishment if you value those things. At least the show trial would’ve aired the contents of the allegations.
But Weaver chose to quit because they could fire him. He renounced the Elizabeth Presbytery, where the trial would have occurred, and moved to a gated retirement community.
The Presbytery determined, through an investigating committee, “that there are probable grounds or cause to believe that an offense was committed by the accused,” according to the official church charges. If Weaver was found at the religious trial to have violated church rules, the most punishment he would have faced would have been expulsion from the Presbyterian ministry.
One of the problems with bringing forth a criminal charge in a secular court, according to one attorney who specialized in sexual abuse, would be the issue of consent. These men agreed to let Weaver perform oral sex on them. Were they lied to in the process? No doubt. Weaver manipulated them. He groomed them. He broke ethical rules. He used his authority to do it. But lying isn’t necessarily a crime when it comes to sex, at least in a courtroom.
Still, Fuggi added, they agreed to receive counseling, not take part in a sexual encounter. That could still factor into a case. All the more reason to let a real judge take a crack at it.
These allegations were only made public because Weaver denounced the Presbyterian Church, and their own sexual misconduct policy says disciplinary charges can be published in that situation. Now that it’s out in the open, let’s hope the victims can get actual justice.

There was never going to be any semblance of justice here, even in the best case scenario. That’s unfortunate given how he manipulated his victims and took advantage of them. Just look at how he assaulted one man, William Weist:
… in the spring of 2000, Weaver told Weist that in order for the ritual to be more effective, they had to go upstairs where he could lay down with more stones and candles…
…
Over the next few visits, Weaver informed Weist that he had suffered “hits” from the spirit world and they needed to be brought out through his semen by oral sex.
Weaver told Staunton he had to lay still, with the stones on and around him, and let the reverend “get it out.”
“Feeling mortified was an understatement, but I didn’t want to say he was wrong, after he helped me to this point,” Weist said in his statement. “I was so confused and upset I remember praying to God please let me get this over with!”

But lying isn’t necessarily a crime when it comes to sex, at least in a courtroom.
“If you look at the sexual abuse statutes, they talk about unlawful, unwanted, non-consensual contact, and certainly the argument would be that this pastor manipulated his position of authority,” said [attorney Robert] Fuggi, who does not represent any of the men who claim to have been victimized by Weaver. “In the guise of practicing care and counseling to these individuals, he manipulated them for his own sexual purposes.”
Fuggi said he believes the victims were “unwilling and unwitting” and “did not consensually engage in the sexual assaults, they consensually engaged in what they thought was a pastoral counseling session.”
Still, Fuggi added, they agreed to receive counseling, not take part in a sexual encounter. That could still factor into a case. All the more reason to let a real judge take a crack at it.
