"An article by Christian psychologist James Dobson caught the attention of millionaire financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He sent it to someone seeking advice about her relationship with her father.

'Ask yourself why you are so mad at him,' Epstein texted in 2019, according to a document the U.S. Department of Justice released on Jan. 30."

"He included a link to an online column where the founder of Focus on the Family told someone to adjust expectations for a father who had caused his family great pain.

Epstein followed up a few minutes later with a text chiding the woman he was talking to for not being grateful enough to offer him sexual favors.

'I suggest you learn to give,' he wrote late at night on May 20."

D. L. Mayfield, a deconstructed evangelical author, argues Dobson and Focus on the Family created parenting materials that appealed to pedophiles."

"Purity culture is pedophile culture. ...

We know purity culture is bad and there's lots of discussion about all the ways it impacts people's sexuality and self-esteem and all that. And I'm saying, and here's another part."
