I need to tell you a horrific story that is going to get squashed by the algorithm. I'm not kidding. Every person
00:00:06
I talked to this weekend once I found this out, I asked if they knew. I'm talking friends, family, strangers I was
00:00:11
seated next to at a restaurant and not a single person had heard this because our
00:00:15
local news isn't talking about it. This is 24year-old Jonathan Peterno from here
00:00:21
in the Indianapolis area. And last month in October of 2025, Jonathan was arrested and faces multiple felony
00:00:27
charges for possession of C-SPAM. The Fischer Police Department released a statement on behalf of the task force
00:00:34
that arrested him. And it said that a search warrant was conducted on his residence where further evidence was
00:00:39
located showing that he possessed over 200 files of child sexual abuse material. Some of this included seo
00:00:45
masochistic child abuse, children that appear to be drugged or intoxicated while being abused, violent child
00:00:50
molestation, and photo realistic AI generated photos of nude pregnant toddlers. According to 24 News, he also was in
00:01:01
possession of 50 pictures and videos of his mother and father either naked or performing sex acts. And this is who his
00:01:11
father is. Nathan Peternell, the lead pastor of one of the huge mega churches here in the Indianapolis surrounding
00:01:20
area. Now, Nathan has not been legally implicated in any of this, but I think part of the reason people are finding it
00:01:27
so shocking is because of how much him and Micah Beckwith talked about trafficking or child exploitation on
00:01:36
their podcast, Jesus, Sex, and Politics. And they're not just like co-hosts, right? Like in this post from Micah
00:01:42
Beckwith, he says that Nathan is one of his best friends and spiritual brother in-arms. And Micah Beckwith is our
00:01:51
current lieutenant governor. Like I'm not going to stay here all day, but like just do some googling.
00:02:00
Now, he too has not been legally implicated in anything related to Jonathan Peter. now. But he not only is
00:02:06
friends with Nathan, he also, while having this full-time job as lieutenant governor, does have a job as a pastor of
00:02:14
one of the campuses of this church. Now recently 24 sight news had been publishing stories of young women who
00:02:22
have come forward and said that while Nathan Peternell did not physically do anything to them, he was inappropriate
00:02:29
with them when they went to his youth group where he would have small groups in which he would talk to girls as young
00:02:35
as 12 about very sexually explicit things. He did address his congregation and did like a whole prodigal son thing
00:02:41
and cried and said that he was going to like step back for a little bit. And in a move I know all too well from growing
00:02:46
up in churches like this, Micah Beckwith said to the congregation recently, according to Foresight News, that this
00:02:52
is just the enemy spreading lies. I shouldn't listen to
