A former Texas youth minister, 29, is accused of molesting a teenage girl; and his brother, 24, who was once a volunteer at the same church, is facing similar charges — for getting jiggy and exchanging sex pictures with two other underage victims.
They procured their prey via the church.
All three alleged victims were 16-year-old girls whom the brothers met through Arapaho Road Baptist Church in Garland, TX. In one case, a girl told police she performed oral sex on one of the brothers in a church Sunday school room. Another of the incidents is alleged to have occurred during an off-site Bible study session with the other brother.
I wonder what part of the Bible they studied. Maybe it was Genesis 19:8, in which the holy Lot offers his virgin daughters to a crowd of lecherous rapists.
Joshua Earls, 29 [photo, right], who worked his way up from intern to youth minister at Arapaho Road Baptist, was arrested more than two weeks ago on a Garland charge of indecency with a child.
Jordan Earls, 24, a student pastor at his father’s church in South Carolina and former volunteer at the Garland church, was arrested in South Carolina and transferred to the Collin County Jail. He is charged with online solicitation of a minor in Collin County and indecency with a child and two counts of sexual assault of a child in Garland.
Investigators say there could be additional charges.
The Earls’ father, Bobby Earls, did not return phone calls seeking comment. He is the pastor at Northgate Baptist Church in Florence, S.C., where Jordan Earls was recently student minister. All references to Bobby Earls’ children have been eliminated from the Northgate Baptist website.
Of course, church members are shocked, shocked; the brothers are Christians.
“Both of them, as far as I know, wouldn’t do anything like that,” said one church employee. “They’re both solid Christian guys. It’s out of character.”
Yeah, it’s a headscratcher all right; we all know that it’s incredibly rare for Christians to do anything illegal or immoral.

you make me fucking sick. you don’t even know them. fuck you and rot in hell. you don’t know the truth so stop bashing them. quit talking shit..
Thank you for your enlightening contribution Jenna! I’ll have these guys’ names and photos up on my blog for as long as the Internet exists. Glad you enjoyed the post!
I always thought it a bit strange that these 2 men were at functions with one of the girls that were not related to any church activities. It appeared to me that the mother was encouraging a strong friendship between her young daughter and 2 grown men. She is certainly under age, but it makes me wonder if the activities were consensual.
Jenna and guest, you seem to practice the classic xtian victim-blaming. I’m glad you’re displaying the true intents and actions of xtians. After all Lot offered up his two daughters to a crowd of rapists (men who wanted to rape “angels” taking the form of males). I wonder if you’re the family members of these two criminals and you’ve partaken in these illegal earthly lusts.
