The Spin

Narrative A

The relationship occurred 36 years ago during a different era when such age gaps were not uncommon, and the minister was not officially leading the church group but was merely a member. Additionally, any restrictions on father-child contact were due to practical circumstances rather than intentional obstruction.

Narrative B

The minister abused her position of trust as a counselor to engage in an inappropriate relationship with a vulnerable teenager seeking support due to difficulties at home, then systematically denied him access to their child while still demanding child support payments for 18 years.
