Doug Philips accused by a woman named Lourdes Torres
We at Kuyperian have been keeping a close eye on the Doug Phillips unfolding drama, which came as a result of his inappropriate relationship with a woman. With the recent news of the resignation of another famous patriarchal leader, Bill Gothard, the patriarchal movement has come to the center of several new investigations. Now, World Net Daily reports that the same woman–Lourdes Torres– is accusing Vision Forum leader, Doug Phillips, of inappropriate behavior far worse than originally implied by the resignation letter:
In the complaint filed in Kendall County District Court in Texas Tuesday morning, Phillips is accused of using a woman named Lourdes Torres, now 29, as “a personal sex object” over a period of five years.
Asked if she ever believed she loved Phillips, Torres, who was over the age of 21 at the time of the sexual contact, told WND, “Oh, yes, definitely.”
Torres said she met Phillips and his wife, Beall, at a homeschooling conference in November 1999 when Torres was 15 years old. Torres spent many hours in the Phillips home, cared for their children and helped run the family farm. She was invited on trips with the family to Hawaii, Virginia, Mexico, Florida and other states.
By 2007, according to the complaint, Phillips began “to pay special attention” to Torres, complementing her beauty and devotion to his family, giving her money, touching her, asking her personal questions about her thoughts and life plans and telling her he would take care of her.
