GA Christian college president placed on leave amid sexual abuse cover-up allegations
The president of a private Baptist college in northeast Georgia is on administrative leave pending the outcome of a sexual abuse investigation. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] On May 30, Truett McConnell University shared in a statement that an unnamed blogger and podcaster published allegations involving Dr. Brad Reynolds. The blogger alleges Reynolds, who's a former TMU administrator and professor, had an inappropriate and immoral relationship with an alumnus who was later hired by the university and was an employee from 2013 until 2018. According to the release, in February 2024, Reynolds notified TMU leadership that the White County Sheriff's Office was investigating him for an inappropriate relationship. At that time, Reynolds was placed on administrative leave, and in a matter of days, he was no longer employed with TMU. In the summer of 2024, university officials said they learned the White County Sheriff's Office investigation was closed. According to a police report, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation found hundreds of graphic emails sent by Reynolds from his personal email account, which Reynolds told investigators was not his. The police report also states that the investigator concluded that he 'does not find that there is enough evidence in the case to seek prosecution at this time,' and the case was closed. In February 2025, TMU says an attorney for the alumnus reached out to the university with excerpts of Reynolds' sexually-explicit and theologically twisted Yahoo emails. 'TMU takes all allegations of sexual misconduct seriously. Had there been a Title IX or HR complaint filed related to this matter, Reynolds would have been immediately investigated and ultimately dismissed,' TMU said in a release. University officials said, 'outside counsel found no documented evidence of Reynolds' behavior, including reviewing the computers, emails and files of former employees.' While law enforcement decided not to pursue charges, school officials say, 'Dr. Reynolds' behavior was abhorrent, immoral, manipulative and unethical. As was expressed more than once in a Friday afternoon faculty and staff meeting, we are all shocked and disgusted to learn of his secret side.' The blogger also reported that Jonathan Morris, TMU's Title IX coordinator from 2010 through 2020, recently claimed to have been fired as a 'whistleblower.' However, the school officials said Morris was asked to resign after a series of unauthorized personal expenses on his university-issued credit card totaling over $12,000. Officials said on one occasion, Morris charged $7,000 to his TMU credit card shortly after asking for a credit limit increase to pay for freshman orientation expenses.

The chairman brought three proposals, which were presented to the trustees. The recommendations included: A third-party investigation will be conducted by Richard Hyde with Phoenix Research LLC. President Dr. Emir Caner will be placed on administrative leave until the investigation is completed. Dr. John Yarbrough will serve as Truett McConnell University as acting president until a final determination can be made regarding the trustees' ultimate decision on this matter. The votes were unanimous. 'Truett McConnell University encourages alleged misconduct to be reported as soon as possible. Every TMU employee is trained to bring reports of alleged misconduct to the Title IX or HR office, allowing students to speak with an employee whom they trust,' the release states. 'We request that you continue to pray for the entire TMU family and all parties involved,' school officials said.

Family of fallen deputy releases statement, thanks community for support
The family of Daniel Sherrer, the Morrow County deputy who was shot and killed two weeks ago, is speaking out. [DOWNLOAD: Free WHIO-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] >> RELATED: Deputy shot, killed while responding to domestic call in Ohio In a statement, Dan and Julie Sherrer thanked the Morrow County community, along with the thousands of law enforcement officers who stood by their side since their son's death, our news partners at WBNS reported. TRENDING STORIES: 'One more is too many;' Family remembers woman killed in motorcycle crash Local high school secures 1st state softball title, finishes with perfect record Man dead after shooting at billiards hall in Ohio As News Center 7 previously reported, Daniel was shot as he responded to a domestic dispute on May 26. Brian Michael Wilson, 53, was indicted on 14 counts last week, including two counts of aggravated murder in Daniel's death. The Morrow County Prosecutor's Office will seek the death penalty if Wilson is convicted. The Sherrers' full statement can be read below. The family of Morrow County Deputy Daniel Weston Sherrer expresses our utmost gratitude to everyone who has reached out to us, our daughter Selby, and his fiancé Alexandria Lyon, during this difficult time. We especially want to thank the Morrow County Sheriff's Office and the people of Morrow County for the overwhelming support and love shown for our son. Your response to this unfathomable tragedy has brought us comfort in the midst of our grief. We were humbled by those who lined the roadways and streets from Morrow County to Marion County as the funeral procession made its way to lay our son to rest. Hundreds of you waved flags, placed your hands over your heart or stood in prayerful silence as the procession traveled to Marion Cemetery. Thank you for loving our son, respecting the job he did and recognizing the ultimate sacrifice he made to uphold his promise to protect and serve the residents of Morrow County. We will never forget you. It would be remiss not to mention the thousands of law enforcement officers and first responders who were with us every step of the way during calling hours and Weston's funeral. Your presence and ceremonial tributes are forever etched in our hearts. In light of our tragic loss, we besiege you to support the State Fraternal Order of Police's Protect Ohio Police initiative launched June 5. It urges all state and federal lawmakers to hold offenders accountable following violent attacks against Ohio law enforcement. Through this initiative, the FOP will advocate for the passage of Senate Bill 167, known as the Protect and Serve Act, which will make it a crime to knowingly assault a law enforcement officer or cause serious bodily injury. Please remember that just like our Weston, law enforcement officers protect us and encounter situations daily that most people fear. Yet, they bravely persevere, sometimes making the ultimate sacrifice. Please continue to keep our families in your prayers. With grateful hearts, Dan and Julie Sherrer Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God. Matthew 5:9 [SIGN UP: WHIO-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]
