You’ve got ten women (I’m guessing there will be more) who worked closely one on one with Gothard, so it’s doubtful that there are going to be many people able to refute their testimony. So unless Mr. Gibbs 3 really didn’t cross check timelines and such, Gothard is done. Sad example of what ignoring Colossians 3 and 1 Corinthians 7 will do to you, I’m guessing.

Would be interesting to know what induced DG3 to renounce his prior work, and the work of his father (long time lawyer for Gothard and others), to take this case and that of Lourdes Torres. I hope that his motivations are honorable.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
