I was looking earlier and couldn't find an article definitely pointing out the pastor or if anyone else knew. However, there were many mentions that stated the now convicted rapist had been under formal investigations for a while and still attended the same church for several years after the once-then considered alleged act. It would be understandable to tolerate or not harbor any ill will toward the man because it could have been morally wrong for them to presume him guilty, but the seriousness of the crime could have at least motivated any member of the congregation to pressure the pastor or the family to help bring back the girl to seek justice.
