A fundamentalist Christian pastor made a 15 year-old rape victim apologize to the church congregation for having sex and getting pregnant by a married man. Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur discuss.

I've heard of this before. A relative of mine was made to go in front of the church and apologize. But she didn't have to give up the baby though.
 
Pastor may have violated the teen's/minor's right to privacy and tortiously exposed her to ridicule, infamy and defamed her character.

If so, and assuming it could be successfully argued that he was acting as an agent of the church, the church's treasury might be exposed to damages (how would the good members/tithers, donors, etc., like that?). Wonder if that would make preachers in the future think twice.

On the other hand, this happened some 14 years ago? - she's probably SOL.

No, not Sister's On Line.

Nah, nah, dammit, not Shit Outta Luck. Well, maybe that is accurate because,

The Statute of Limitations has probably run on her claim rendering her, in fact, Shit out of Luck :(
