Episode Details

A shocking raid at Pawleys Island Community Church and its Christian Academy has rocked the community, as investigators search for evidence tied to convicted sex offender Warren Perry, who was secretly volunteering at the school while on probation. Perry, convicted in 2023 for exploiting a minor, allegedly failed to disclose his work at the academy to his probation officer — and the church’s senior pastor even provided character references that helped secure his clearance. In the wake of the search, church leadership, including the senior pastor, his wife, and the academy director, have all resigned. While the former pastor insists there’s no evidence Perry abused children, authorities are still gathering facts — and a major press conference is set for Monday. This case is a chilling reminder of how dangerous blind trust can be — and how far some will go to protect their institutions.
