The investigation began on May 16 after Bratton allegedly confessed to three Southern Baptist clergy members that he abused the child, according to court documents. Two of Bratton's co-pastors, Aaron Wright and Erin Frye, called the Harris County Sheriff's Office to their church on Bammel Westfield Road to take a report that same day, while the third pastor, David Shiflet, said he referred the complaint to the Department of Family Protective Services.

The article also mentions that the abused relative was a girl. What level of hell would there be for him if he got her pregnant and then turned her in for having an abortion? Texas has the death penalty, btw, and it could apply to abortions.
