Church and Academy Face Abuse Lawsuit | Charleston News
Description
A shocking lawsuit has erupted in South Carolina after a child alleges sexual abuse by a convicted sex offender who allegedly worked at Pawleys Island Christian Academy — despite being barred from contact with minors. The child’s mother claims the academy ignored her son’s report, and now the church, its former pastor and wife, and the academy’s former director face civil charges for negligent hiring and civil conspiracy. The offender, Warren Perry, pleaded guilty to exploiting a minor and received a 10-year sentence — yet reportedly continued working at the school until a parent complaint led to his arrest. Authorities charged the pastor and director with obstruction and conspiracy, while the state cited multiple safety failures. This is the second lawsuit against the institution in recent weeks — and the sheriff’s office says they’re investigating every angle.
