Church Leaders Accused of Covering Up Abuse | Charleston News
Description
Three former leaders at Pawley’s Island Community Church — pastor Donald Williams, his wife Ginny, and academy director Niki Howard — face serious charges including conspiracy and obstructing justice after allegedly allowing convicted sex offender Warren Perry to work as a custodian near children. Perry, arrested in 2020 for exploiting a minor and re-arrested in 2023 for probation violations, was reportedly known to church officials. Evidence uncovered by investigators includes photos of Perry near kids and video of the former pastor denying Perry’s presence. The church leadership has stepped down, and authorities are now investigating other elders, reviewing digital devices, and interviewing potential victims. This shocking case underscores the urgent need for accountability in protecting vulnerable youth.
