COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—The church school in Colorado Springs at the center of a sex abuse case is no longer in operation.
The Hilltop Baptist School closed last year after enrollment dropped from about 200 to 130 students.
A teacher at the former school, 32-year-old Terah Allyn Rawlings, is accused of having sex with a 15-year-old boy during the 2007-2008 school year and the following summer. She was indicted this week along with two pastors and a former principal who allegedly failed to report the abuse.
One of the pastors is her father and the other is an uncle.
The church’s outreach director, Ken Bennett, told The Gazette () that he thinks the congregation is “united and prayerful.” He said they don’t know the whole story and trust their pastor.
