flag A Duluth church leader pleaded guilty to abuse after victims came forward, revealing leaders ignored warnings for years.

flag A Duluth church abuse case has drawn national attention after an investigation revealed church leaders knew of allegations against Clint Franklin Massie as early as 2017 but failed to report them, instead promoting internal forgiveness sessions. flag Despite multiple warnings, including a 2020 tip about decades of abuse, no charges were filed against leaders due to the statute of limitations. flag In 2023, nine adult victims came forward, enabling prosecutors to build a case that led to Massie pleading guilty to four counts and receiving a 7½-year sentence. flag Authorities said they worked to educate church leaders about their legal duty to report abuse, highlighting systemic challenges in holding religious organizations accountable.
