Attorney Ron Weil Represented Family in Lawsuit Against Baptist Groups Over Abuse
Attorney Ron Weil represented the mother of a Lake County boy in a lawsuit against former pastor Douglas W. Myers, two churches, and Baptist organizations for failing to protect her son from sexual abuse. The lawsuit argued that the Florida Baptist Convention and the Lake County Baptist Association had supported Myers as a "church planter" despite warning signs of misconduct. Weil’s case highlighted the broader issue of institutional accountability in religious organizations for safeguarding children.
