Misbrugt i frikirken
★ 1 · 2021 · 58m · Documentary
A free church pastor in Aarhus is reported to the police for having violated seven women in the congregation, with two of the women accusing him of rape. The pastor admits to inappropriate relationships, but claims it was consensual. The police drop the case due to lack of evidence, as it is currently not illegal for a pastor to have sex with adult members of the congregation, as long as they are over 18. But should the law be changed? The prosecution has charged the pastor with showing inappropriate nude images, with a reservation to seek deportation and compensation.
