Independent report finds credible sexual misconduct allegations against social work professor, adult clergy sexual abuse researcher
A social work professor and researcher of clergy sexual abuse has been accused of sexual misconduct, and an independent investigation found the allegations credible.
That is deeply disturbing. People who study abuse, advocate for survivors, and train future social workers should be held to the highest ethical standards. The fact that these allegations involve someone whose professional work centers on sexual abuse makes the findings particularly alarming.
As a social worker, I’m watching closely to see how Baylor responds. Survivors deserve to be believed, protected, and taken seriously. Institutional reputation should never come before accountability.
