A Douglasville Baptist church is being sued in federal court in Atlanta over church officials’ firing of an elementary school teacher who reported that the church pastor had sexually harassed and groped her, then threatened her if she reported him.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed the suit Nov. 2 after finding cause to believe that Marsha Pearson, a teacher at The King’s Way Christian School in Douglasville, had been fired illegally in retaliation for her complaints about William Wininger Sr., former pastor of The King’s Way Baptist Church, which operates the private Christian academy.
