Oregon Christian Coalition Head Accused of Molestation
Lou Beres, the head of the Oregon Christian Coalition, has stepped down from his post amid allegations that he sexually molested three female members of his family when the women were pre-teens. Beres, 70, denies the charges, of which only one is still within the six-year statute of limitations.
Beres’ nephew, Richard Galat, 41, of Oakland, California, says that Beres has molested “several” female relatives. Beres is naturally a little peeved that his nephew said this and is “attemptng to determine the source of each claim.” Not to shut them up, mind you. According to Beres’ niece, Rachel Beeson, this is probably all a big “misunderstanding.” Because, you know, sometimes people get confused and think they’re being molested when really all they’re doing is eating apple pie or watching TV.
Beres says that when he finds out who the accusers are, he will “pursue the Biblical response to do all within my power to reconcile with that person.” Lou, just between you and me, the Biblical response is exactly what you’re being accused of. Don’t go there.

I have to say - well worded.
I am Lou Beres’ nephew - trust me - he is the epitome of evil.
His ‘Biblical’ response included walking into his accusers son’s place of work with two other men to ‘help convince’ him assist in dropping charges.

A civil case has just been filed against child molester Lou.
