Lawyer For Alleged Abuse Victim Accuses SBC President Of Pushing Her to Suicide in Order to Win Lawsuit
The lawyer representing alleged survivor Hannah Kate Williams in her lawsuit against multiple SBC personalities posted a written notice to SBC President Bart Barber, pastor Mike Keahbone, Judd Nelson, and Todd Benkert (who has deleted his Twitter feed) demanding that they quit contacting her and her friend Abby Osborne, lest they be reported as harassment for prosecution because they are literally trying to kill her.
He further offered that if they and the SBC Executive Committee care about these alleged victims, they can settle the suits for seven figures, or $1,000,000+/
He continues:
Robert’s concerns about Williams are not unwarranted, as she is an extremely troubled soul who has made multiple suicide attempts and has a history of erratic behavior.
Nine months ago, she filed suit against a plethora of entities and personalities, including Lifeway, the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Mike Stone, Rod Martin, the SBC Executive Committee, and others, alleging that they “conspired to protect the Baptist denomination from a problem of sexual abuse of minors or other vulnerable populations” by not investigating her reports, along with painting her as a liar who has no credibility.
Hannah contends that her father sexually, physically, and psychologically abused her from the ages of 5-16. She says she reported that abuse at the age of 8 to SBC church staff, but they did nothing other than tell her, “I’m praying for you.”
When a recent Kentucky law extending the statute of limitations for child abuse survivors to sue their abusers, as well as the SBC, set to release a 300-page investigation into 20 years of sexual abuse that leaders committed or concealed, Williams took advantage by suing the SBC itself, along with a few familiar faces, including her father, Lifeway (his former employer) The SBC Executive Committee, and SEBTS.
She claims her father,” a former seminary student of SBTS in Louisville, Kentucky and employee of LifeWay, engaged in unlawful, harmful, and offensive sexual conduct and physical abuse” towards her while further alleging that “SBTS negligently failed to act to protect Ms. Williams or other children in Defendant’s care after SBTS learned of the abuse from an employee. “
She says that after her father started abusing her (allegations that have not been proven in court) that the defendants collectively “engaged in a concerted effort to discredit, malign, and threaten” her as she attempted to “seek redress for her abuse, causing her extreme emotional distress.” She claims she reported the abuse to Defendant’s employer at an SBTS-run day camp: but they did not do anything about it.
Years later, she reported her dad’s alleged behavior to an elder at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, but that “SBTS took no corrective actions, or actions internally to investigate or report to law enforcement Plaintiff’s allegations of physical, sexual, and psychological abuse against Defendant.”
Later, when she pushed again to have her grievances heard, she says that “Southern Baptist Convention and EC engaged in a concerted effort to undermine Plaintiff’s credibility, malign her character, and threaten her through social media (YouTube, Facebook, Twitter) and at several public church-sponsored events.
According to some reports, the SBC has filed multiple motions to dismiss the case and have the details under a gag order.
Williams raised eyebrows on Twitter last year after she accused multiple SBC pastors of threatening her life, none of which she showed any evidence of, as well as having a meltdown at the 2021 SBC convention with spurious accusations against Mike Stone.
One of the pastors mentioned is Kip Farrar. During the 2021 SBC convention which she attended and later burned all her allies, she wrote on Twitter that the man who helped cover up her abortion was outside the convention protesting abortion. He is a pastor at Alethia Church and released a video at the time explaining that he has been falsely accused and that she is a liar, painting a picture that is diametrically opposite hers.
Williams ultimately had her previous withdrawn without prejudice, allowing it to be refiled. During the initial lawsuit, SBTS President Al Mohler said that they conducted an internal investigation in 2019 and could not find anyone who had any knowledge of her abuse, or took steps to conceal it.
