Three women have accused the son of an Indiana pastor of abusing them. The pastor was fired after being accused of grooming a 16-year-old girl for sex more than two decades ago.
Jeremiah Lowe, 39, was accused of molesting two of the alleged victims when they were children.
One claimed he fondled her breasts when she was 11 – and he was 18 – and another claimed he molested her as a child while babysitting her in the 2000s.
During their turbulent marriage, Lowe’s ex-wife, Abbey Plummer, claims he forced her to have sex with him, choked and beat her, and verbally abused her.
She also accused him of rubbing dog urine in her face and threatening to ‘put [her] head through the f***ing windscreen’ while they were driving.
It comes after Lowe’s father, John Lowe II, 65, was forced to resign from New Life Christian Church in Warsaw in May after admitting to his congregation that he had an affair with a 16-year-old girl.
Bobi Gephart, now 43, stormed on stage during a service, grabbed a microphone, and claimed he groomed her as a teenager, took her virginity, and sexually abused her.
According to Gephart, John Lowe gained her trust by telling her he loved her, and by the time she was 16, things had escalated. Her relationship with John Lowe lasted nine years, and he was able to keep her quiet about their illicit affair by instilling fear in her about what would happen if people found out.
Other alleged victims told DailyMail.com of allegations against John, his former co-pastor wife Debra Lowe, and Jeremiah as Indiana State Police launched an investigation into her claims.
According to a staff member, no one with that name worked in the department. The sheriff’s chief deputy has been contacted by DailyMail.com.
Jeremiah has not been charged in connection with the allegations of sexual assault and is currently on work release after serving time for an unrelated offense.
