Joshua Leduc, an Evansville, IN Teacher, pleads guilty in association with sexual abuse at Bethel United Church of Christ.
In August 2022, Joshua Leduc was arrested by Evansville, Indiana police and charged with sexually abusing a 4-year-old girl. He is facing up to 18 years in prison for two felony counts of sexual abuse.
Joshua Leduc Used A Cabinet Door To Shield Himself From Cameras
According to reports, Leduc used a cabinet door to hide from surveillance cameras at Bethel United Church of Christ to commit his abuse. He gave children candy to reward their participation in his sexual crimes.
Given the presence of security cameras in the location of Leduc’s abuse of the young girl, questions remain as to the Church’s supervision of Leduc and the location of the abuse. If the Church failed to monitor or supervise Leduc adequately, the Church may face responsibility for his abuse.
It remains unknown at this time if Leduc will be charged with abusing other children.
A Civil Case To Seek Justice And Accountability
This civil lawsuit filed in Vanderburgh County Court takes things a step further. The plaintiffs, Jane Doe I and her minor child Jane Doe II, are not only seeking compensation for the severe harm inflicted but are also standing up for institutional accountability. Bethel United Church of Christ and Bethel Buddies Preschool allegedly failed to supervise their staff adequately, implement safeguards, and protect children like Jane Doe II from harm.
