Note: (9/12/23): The charges were dropped against Stephen and Stephanie Webb. Consequently, their mug shots were removed from this post.
Pearl police arrested and charged Nicholas Webb with sexual battery/statutory rape. The police also charged his parents, Stephen and Stephanie Webb, with contributing to the neglect/delinquency of a child. Stephen Webb is the pastor of Plain Landmark Missionary Baptist Church in Richland.
Nicholas's bond was set at $500,000 but Rankin County Court Judge David Morrow increased it to $600,000 at his August 31 initial appearance. Pearl police charged him with two counts of sexual battery/ statutory rape.
Stephen and Stephanie Webb's bonds were $250,000 each but Judge Morrow reduced them to $50,000.
The Court ordered the defendants to have no contact with the victim and barred any unsupervised contact with any person under the age of 18. The victim was a family member.
Nicholas Webb is still incarcerated. Stephen and Stephanie Webb posted bond.

He will not survive prison. Turn him out and street justice will take care of it. They'll find him lying dead on a logging road somewhere.
But, but, they are dedicated church goers. This is more common than you deniers want to believe.
@11:01 am... And guns do the killings too... SMH
Death penalty please.
Prolly be low traffic on this one because of # of regular commenters that attend this "church"
I never see Kingfish pointing out when a Rabbi, Imam, or some other non-Christian is charged with a crime. He never fails to let you know when it is a pastor!
I grew up down the street from the wife. The family was fundamentalist, Christian….women can’t wear pants, no makeup, no tv etc. Thought the rest of us were hell bound for wearing bathing suits and listening to rock music. .
I'll wait for a verdict, but I guess they'll all make pleas. I know of an instance where a defendant and his family knew the wife's accusations of molestation were false but his attorney counseled him to plead anyway because juries are so biased against these charges. He did plead and drew 20 years; may be out by now, I don't know.
I am glad this family has finally been exposed. Take care of your children and don't trust strangers since what makes one think we can trust family members in this case. My condolences to the victim, hope she never sees them again. Hope he was relinquished as pastor and the mom at the school. And death penalty to the rapist
We have zero information as to the actual activities of the parents that warranted their arrest. Aren't you Holier-than-Thou jurors sort of jumping the judgment-gun here?
Sex with a minor in this state is not going to warrant the death penalty.
Never leave your children unattended around liberals or bible thumpers, they'll come out messed up in the head.
That lack of chin(s) in this family is very pearl……
12:49, do us a favor and fill in the gaps by letting us know when a “Rabbi, Imam, or some other non-Christian” is charged with a crime.
And adjust that tin foil hat, some rays may be making their way in.
"I never see Kingfish pointing out when a Rabbi, Imam, or some other non-Christian is charged with a crime. He never fails to let you know when it is a pastor!"
Maybe there's a reason that those thousands of Rabbis and Imams in Mississippi don't get press exposure. They are, both, less than 1% of the population.
Also, all this blog stands for is essentially a police blotter for sex offenders. If it breeds it leads.
I think you answered your own question.
She could literally be 17 1/2 months but because he is a pastor that’s essentially an authority like a teacher so AOC laws don’t apply.
3:41 - You seem to be glossing over the fact that “The victim was a family member.” Doubtful they just met. God knows how long this has been going on.
He's safer in prison. This isn't tolerated.
WLBT covered these arrests at 5pm today, but failed to mention that he is a pastor. I guess CJ wasn't on the case.
Every preacher, priest or minister who has ever committed adultery has whined to his victims that God expects him to enjoy a 'release' in order to relieve tension. Isn't that what Jimmy Swaggart told his participants in what Mel Tillis called 'Commercial Affection'?
But, wait, 3:41...the perp was not the pastor, but his son.
Someone's job might be on the line, no can do lots of jobs with a charge like this...
That is because Rabbis, Imams, or other non-Christians rarely committ sex crimes including apparent incest as in this case. The dangerous place for a child is in a fundamentalist church, "Christian" school, or other places where these types are predators hang out and "groom" children.

Are their people who use the name of Christianity to satisfy their own evil desires. Absolutely, they are evil and will use any means to satisfy their evil desires.
I guess those the people here lumping the devout as "Bible thumpers" need to tell the Baptists, Salvation Army, UMCOR, and Catholic Charities to quit showing up after hurricanes and tornadoes. It is strange, but I never see the American Atheists or Planned Parenthood show up to volunteer after hurricanes or tornadoes or other natural disasters to provide relief.
2:18 pm Did you read the neighbor's comment? Hardly a "liberal" family and if you think sexual child abuse is "politics" other than politicians who also have been convicted, you are extremely ignorant. Over indulging a child isnt' liberal or political, it's lazy parenting. More than a few politically conservative parents' children end up on this site. Indeed, I knew most of them as they were "reported" to those in authority and like me bound by the laws of the land. As someone who investigated child abuse and did put away more than a few despite people like you who should have been suspicious but wouldn't believe YOUR friend or neighbor could possibly be a sexual predator. You wouldn't help us prevent the worst outcomes.
The body language and facial expression can be a hint to the observant. If that person is seeking out the same child and staring at them in a group setting, be alert. If the person spends more time in activities with or contact with children than with adults. be alert. Notice excessive touching. Listen to comments, if a father of your daughters friend says " your daughter is 'hot' or makes crude sexual observations about your daughter or his" it's a huge warning. If you hear he sleeps with his own child because " they have " nightmares" and his wife needs " her rest", be alert. Anytime a male sees underage boys or girls as sexual objects, or initiates selecting or insisting on clothing and physical alterations to make their child look more sexually appealing, be alert. Same sex help is not worrisome. But, mother to son and father to daughter enhancement is worrisome.
But, the worst problem is that those of you who are appalled and who rant the most afterward, didn't want to be " involved" when interviewed by me, you certainly wouldn't testify even if you saw or heard something that made you concerned. Your one thing may not be suspicious but in removing the child to keep them safe, cummulative observations help in court and later to convict.
We continue to be very good about hating criminals of all kinds, but totally uninterested in keeping children from becoming criminals. We "get it" with animals...the animals that are starved and beaten and abused either cower are become savage and often have are too many scars to be loved or saved. You don't except animals to turn out well if you don't feed them or provide shelter or train them to do whatever they do best for you. But,not children are their parents " property". And,most of you who need to feel control more than love just pegged this conservative as a liberal. Instead of jumping to a wrong conclusion, at least, those of who profess to be Christians should revisit The Sermon on the Mount. Neither Jesus nor any religious leader other than a later male follower seeking power and control, ever suggested some of the nonsense some males have decided to inject into society and politics. You listen to successful animal experts but not to experts in criminology or human behavior nor do you even know or teach your children how to react if when they encounter a predator. You don't want to believe you are "exceptional" and not really a part of the human race and you have no vulnerabilities to human weaknesses. If that's you, you're the problem. I've tried to explain from time to time over the decades but seldom get more than a sentence out before you get all defensive. Truth is sometimes very hard to swallow.
Damn, 9:20 - Take a deep breath. And Swallow!
Yeah, 9:20- take a deep breath, then step back up to the microphone, and hammer on it some more. Don't give the nay Sayers in the peanut gallery any thought. When it comes to child molestation, hanging on the courthouse square should be the default position. That's just my opinion.
Cultural of women not allowed to speak in this church. Very Male dominated! The Women may have been a victim herself.
I I went to a Christian school is Jackson. I was bullied for being innocent about “ways of the world.” Many of the girls in my class were secretly abused by a female coach. Academics were not a priority but Bible was taught where the students played poker during class. It became a dumping ground for students rejected from other schools for a variety of reasons. My parents made sure I was never alone with faculty members. I left the school and it eventually went out of business. So yes, hard line charismatic preachers usually have an agenda!!
