    The national Moms for Liberty organization held a summit in Philadelphia this past summer, where denying transgender identity for children and removing books from school libraries were major themes.

    Meanwhile, back at his church:

    Fisher has supported Trump’s campaigns; a 2020 report by WHYY included a mural in support of Trump that Fisher said was painted on an exterior wall of his church by children he worked with in his congregation.

    The charging documents allege that Fisher had oral and anal sex with the 14-year-old boy in January 2011

    Fisher said he took the plea bargain to get out of the county jail, where he said he experienced violence from other prisoners.

    Wew. That was a wild ride.
