OH Pastor Pleads Guilty to Rape
George Bell, 73, was arrested in November 2024. He was charged with four counts of rape and two counts of gross sexual imposition of a minor younger than 10. The alleged crimes happened between 2021 and 2024 when he was pastor at Anchor Baptist Church.
As part of Bell’s plea agreement, he pleaded guilty to two counts of rape in exchange for having the other charges dropped.
Bell founded Anchor Baptist Church in 1989 and pastored the church until his resignation in June 2024.
In its initial statement on July 3, 2024, church leaders alerted the congregation to Bell’s resignation. “To our knowledge there was nothing untoward involving church members or church property,” they wrote. “We are grateful for his and Mrs. Bell’s years of service to Anchor Baptist Church and ask for your prayers for them during this difficult time.”
Bell faces 15-20 years in prison. He will be 88 years old when he is first eligible for release, at which point he would be required to register as a Tier III sexual offender.
According to the Columbus Dispatch, the father of Bell’s victim spoke in court before the sentencing. He said Bell was the opposite of God-fearing and deserves every second of punishment he would receive.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
