4 people, including pastor and wife, charged in church sex offender case

Four individuals, including a pastor and his wife, face charges after it was revealed that a convicted sex offender, Warren Perry, had been employed as a custodian at Pawleys Island Christian Academy. The charges against them include obstruction, endangering children, and conspiracy. This case highlights the serious implications of failing to conduct proper background checks, especially within religious institutions where trust is paramount. The fallout could lead to significant changes in how churches and schools manage personnel to prevent such breaches of trust and safety in the future.
