Daystar Scandal Unveiled
Allegations surrounding Daystar, a prominent Christian TV network, have emerged, involving claims of child sexual abuse and subsequent cover-ups. Jonathan Lamb, the son of Daystar's president Joni Lamb, and his wife Susie allege that a family member, referred to as 'Pete,' abused their daughter while also accusing the network's leadership of concealing these allegations. Joni Lamb counters, labeling the claims as part of a smear campaign linked to Jonathan's recent dismissal from the network, suggesting that internal family tensions have fueled these accusations. The case, which had previously been closed by police due to insufficient evidence, was reopened following public disclosure of the allegations, heightening scrutiny on the network's practices and ethical responsibilities.
