GA Pastor Arrested on Child Sex Charges

samuel chapman, pastor, molestation

Your Black World reports.

A pastor is being held this week without bond in the Clayton County jail on accusations that he molested and solicited sodomy from a child.   Samuel Walsham Chapman, a 58-year old man out of Decatur, GA, was arrested last week and charged with molestation, solicitation of sodomy and enticing a child for indecent purposes.

Court records show that Chapman is the pastor at Riverdale Seventh-Day Adventist Church in Jonesboro.   It is being alleged that Chapman took a 15-year old boy to a parking lot in March and performed a sex act in front of him.  He then asked the boy to give him oral sex, which he refused to do.

Chapman was arrested when the boy told his mother and grandmother about what allegedly happened on May 4.  Police then investigated, asking the boy to describe the pastor’s genitals, which led to Chapman’s arrest.

Chapman was given a bond of $5,000 on the solicitation charge but denied bond on the other two charges.  His next court appearance is on August 18.

It's happening because the church has become more concerned about building projects instead of the HOLY SPIRIT and seeking the voice of GOD. It's happening because people are being elevated to positions of leadership without their life being checked or examined. It's happening because some believe they have free reign to sin and commit foolishness just because our sins have been forgiven. It's happening because there is a lack of respect for the PRESENCE of GOD and it's happening because many of these people never knew GOD and HE sure doesn't know them. There's something about coming in contact with the SPIRIT of the LIVING GOD that keeps you from doing these kind of acts - HIS SPIRIT convicts you at the thought and humbles you to tears in repentance.. There is a lack of repentance in many and it's sad because those who truly love the LORD and are serving HIM with a whole heart can't get half the support these people get.. My GOD!

When did black men become so interested in boy?!?!? What is really going on? And I am noticing that they try to target single family homes so parent, WATCH your children!
When the guys come knockin, beware that they may not be there to woe you but your child!...
It's sad that we have to think like that but we are living in the days and time that great, great granny was talking about!

Lets just remember 'innocent until PROVEN guilty'. Not saying one way or the other, but lets not rush to judgement. There have been may false accusations of this type. Lets get all the facts, before we string him up by the gonads

There was no way this child knew how this man penis looked.Unless he saw it ,the paper stated they arrested him after the boy describe his genitals. GUILTY.

Why are we especially "Christians" so quick to judge? The Bible itself has numerous examples of the "fallen men" of God. David fell, and yet God HIMSELF refers to David as a man after his own heart.Furthermore, not everyone who calls out the Name of The Lord will be heard. These actions should be expected, are there not sheep in wolves clothing?

SORRY WRONG IS WRONG AND YES WE ALL FALL SHORT - AND ALL THAT. BUT WE AS CHRISTIANS NEED TO STOP TAKING GODS GRACE AND MERCY FOR GRANTED.....WE CAN NOT JUST GO AROUND AND DO THINGS WE KNOW ARE NOT RIGHT......SPEAK UP ! IF YOU KNOW SOMETHING.....NO JUDGING BUT LIKE I SAID WRONG IS WRONG....AND WHETHER HE DID IT OR NOT - IT'S BEEN HAPPENING SOMEWHERE AND WE SAY THE SAME THING......STOP JUDGING......SOME JUDGING IS REQUIRED I AM SORRY.....GOD BLESS....AND START SPEAKING UP !!!!

The "church" most follow today is the church of Paul not the Church of Jesus Christ the Great Amen. The Aramaic translation of Matthew 11:12 says this: From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has been administered by force, and only those in power control it. Under Constantine "Christianity" became a tolerated "religion" and later the state religion of Rome. Then as today it was and is administered and controlled by those in power. This thing we call "church" is a man made monstrosity that will cause many to hear one day ,"depart from me you workers of iniquity, I never knew you. Before Paul there was no "christianity", only followers of Jesus...

In His Service

that is not correct the were countless religions before christ and the christian concept of immacaulate conception is not a christian idea. it was taken from the egyptians.it is in the temple of luxor in egypt 3000 yrs before christ. and early christians were polytheist. the first known concept of monotheism was the african pharoah akkennonon..

The Most High GOD would not be MOCKED. Man don't know their place.When stories such as this, This isn't his first time he violate children. You dont wake up one day and say this is the day. The worst of it all some church trustees cover up for these ministers. Long's church covered for him. He thought he got away for molesting children. These young men was on the payroll. When the first agreement was breached that's how john q public found out. The young men lawyer sued everyone because of known church cover up. GOD is stripping man because of his dis respect. IF YOU DONT WANT FRUITS FROM EVIL STAY OUT OF THE DEVIL'S ORCHARD.

We are living in the last and evil days. God said, Judgement starts at the House of God.
As a SDA, I am not surprised. Many of our pastors have been getting away for years with not living right. When they make a mistake they are sent to another conference. But when a lay member makes a mistake, they will take you before the church board and either censer or disfellowship you.

Jesus Christ is coming back again and I don't want to miss out on going back to the kingdom with Him.

I pray for this pastor and his family. That He repents of his sin, turn away from it and seek the help of God.

No one is as "sick and tired" as the children this happens to. Six decades and counting (my age), I know this is not new in the "black" church. It was going on when I was child. What is new, is the willingness to expose it. However, I believe all the exposure, is to say, it is so prevelant as to deem it "normal". I guarantee you these perverts will soon be "openly" advocated to practice their lifestyle on other people's children.
