3ABN sued over alleged abuse by founder’s brother
The suit alleges Tommy Shelton sexually abused Alex Walker beginning in 1997 at a Virginia church where both men were congregants. It claims Shelton later led a Virginia church, returned to 3ABN in 2001, and that 3ABN knew of earlier abuse allegations but allowed Shelton access to children. Walker, now in Coles County, says abuse continued during a 2001 3ABN stint. 3ABN denies merit, says Shelton’s past roles were separate from its ministry and that it will vigorously defend itself.
