Malcolm Fraser, assistant pastor of a Sound Doctrine Church in Enumclaw, Washington, ordered a family in his church to allow him to move in with them. He lived with the family until they moved to a smaller house and then left the church entirely. During his time living in the home, Fraser raped and molested the family’s 11-year-old daughter. He visited the girl at night, held her down, and threatened her. The incidences occurred between Jan. 12, 2005, and May 31, 2006. Fraser also instituted a boot camp for the girl and her siblings each evening, forcing them to stand at attention and not speak until spoken to in an effort to make the children “100 percent completely obedient without question.” The girl and her siblings were homeschooled by their mother. The girl and her family took the case to the authorities years later, in 2012, and Fraser was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2013.
