Children are afraid no one will believe them, because that is what many abusers brainwash and groom their victims to believe. Children may be threatened by the offender. Some people never tell until they leave the home (until they feel safe within themselves to tell). Just like domestic violence.
Mark my words- YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW (HE IS GOING TO REAP THAT)

What I don’t understand is why the daughter waited so many years to say her father was raping her? I mean 8 years is a long time!! Ain’t that much love in the world for the sick dog not to report him before now. Is she mentally stable? He probably done drove the poor child crazy. So sad. Hopkins is a sick sick sick sick nasty rotten dirty dog!!!!!!!!

Police let Hopkins finish his sermon before arresting him (nice of them). NYPD would have snatched him out of the pulpit upon entering the building.

It’s strange his name is Anthony Hopkins, same as the actor in Silence of the Lambs. Is this his real name? Just a little weird.

I hate that he has probably used tithes to operate his perverted world.  He was like a wolf in sheeps clothing, his poor children will never likely live any resemblance to a normal life.  I pray for them, it is sad that this man used God as a store front.  Our world is in such decay around us.

My apologies WKRG! I posted a comment about this story under a seperate listing from yesterday…it was not deleted. My mistake!

This is HORRIBLE! This man looks to be your average Joe who wouldn’t harm a flea. Goes to show you what we’ve always been told.  “NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER”.  I pray for this woman, and I’d say I’d pray for the family, but my feelings are if they cared that much seems as though someone would have placed a missing persons report.  But, who knows behind this I am sure is a twisted story. I am sure all of the church members are praying for this thing called a PERSON.

He even home schooled the kids so no one would find out.

Strange…I posted a comment asking if anyone else saw the irony in the suspects name…and WKRG deleted it? Did I offend?

So how in the heck does a woman disappear for that long and no one notices.  She died while giving birth, hello why was she not at a hospital and why would he not call for help.  I feel for his children who have probley been tortured by this man and terrified of what happened to their mommy.  Where is this woman’s family did she have none or did he kill them too. This is sad and he should never be forgiven.
