The complaint alleges negligence by the pastor, his wife, the church and the Synod for not doing more to protect the victim, a minor child who was sexually abused by a young member of the congregation.
, the former West Lafayette pastor defrocked following an IndyStar investigation into allegations he and other church leaders mishandled reports of child sexual abuse.
An IndyStar investigation published in December 2021 found Jared Olivetti and members of the church’s elder board failed to act with urgency in responding to inappropriate behavior and sexual offenses by a boy at the church.A boy sexually abused up to 15 kids. His pastor relative protected him. The complaint alleges the abuse of this child occurred as early as 2015 and continued through 2020. The child disclosed the abuse to their parents in early 2021, according to the complaint.
Additionally, the complaint alleges that Jared Olivetti, as pastor, had been made aware of the boy’s behavior on several occasions and initially failed to communicate those incidents to the congregation. When safety precautions were put in place, the complaint alleges the Olivettis and others took no steps to ensure they were actually being followed.
The Rev. Dan Perrin, who now serves at Immanuel, told IndyStar he had no comment when reached via email Wednesday morning. IndyStar has also reached out to representatives of the Synod for comment.
