Jon Paul Sheptock, 49, served as the worship minister at the First Montgomery Baptist Church in Texas before these shocking allegations came to light.

The Human Trafficking and Child Exploitation Unit eventually caught up with the suspect while he was working at a local women’s prison where he served as a minister.

At a Donald Trump rally in January 2022, Sheptock was recruited to sing the national anthem before later posing with the president and his son for pictures.

    I am amazed at how every single person connected to Trump end up being a horrible individual. You would think by sheer luck he would find one person who is NOT a monster. Dude is batting 1.000 for picking ghouls.

        i would just imagine one nuetral idiot would accidentally fall in the mix. But no, he is like a bad guy in a cartoon where the janitorial staff, the pets and even the house plants are evil monsters.

      My parents are avid supporters. It’s very difficult for me to reconcile. And they can’t stop themselves from talking about him. I have to keep my distance for this reason. Which is harder since they recently relocated from several thousand miles away to <100.

      Yeah it makes sense though, morally bankrupt people need to surround themselves with likeminded people to feel okay about their own depravity

        Yeah but did he really need to hire an evil singer for the National Anthem? Could have found just a normal conservative singer but no, he only hires pedos and sociopaths.
