Caroline Garcia Osborne and an anonymous woman share their stories of grooming, spiritual abuse, and sexual battery at the hands of Boyd Miller of Covenant OPC in La Grange, Georgia. If you listened to Theresa Garcia Robertson's story, these are the women she referred to at the end of her episode.
When this episode goes live head over to the Sons of Patriarchy Facebook page. There you find hundreds of pages of documents: Facebook messages, timelines, presbytery reports, everything. Theresa, Caroline, and the anonymous woman have given us access to everything.
Let's do something about this.
