Pastor Myron Chorbajian and Wife Facing Charges in Child Sex Abuse Case

The small community of Greenville, South Carolina, has been rocked by a disturbing case involving Pastor Myron Chorbajian and his wife, Kathleen Chorbajian, who are facing serious charges related to a decades-long child sex abuse investigation. The couple, linked to the First Southern Methodist Church in Greenville, was apprehended in Nashville, Tennessee, on May 15, 2025, following an…

God help us all.

GREENVILLE COUNTY, S.C. —

A pastor at a Greenville County, South Carolina, church is facing numerous child sex charges, and his wife has also been arrested, according to detention center records.

Myron Chorbajian is a pastor at 1st Southern Methodist Church on Fork Shoals Road, according to the church's Facebook page.

Myron and his wife, Kathleen, were arrested on fugitive from justice warrants on May 15 in Nashville, Tennessee, according to authorities.

Deputies with the Greenville County Sheriff's Office said the arrests were made in connection with an investigation into child abuse allegations involving their adopted and biological children.

In April, investigators initiated an investigation after one of the victims contacted law enforcement to report extensive abuse that occurred in the family home. The Chorbajians had seven adopted children and one biological daughter.

According to the report, the abuse allegedly began in the 1980s. Preliminary findings indicate that all the male children were subjected to physical abuse, while all the female children suffered sexual abuse.

Deputies said two of the victims, who were children during the abuse, are now dead.

Following an extensive investigation, warrants were obtained on May 15 and both Myron and Kathy were arrested that same day by the Metro Nashville Police Department.

The couple has since been transported back to the Greenville County Detention Center.

Myron Chorbajian is facing the following charges:

Three counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct with minor, ages 11-14

Three counts of incest

One count of second-degree criminal sexual conduct

Fourteen counts of placing a child at risk, harm or abandon

Two counts of second-degree assault and battery

Kathleen Ann Chorbajian faces the following charges:

Fourteen counts of placing a child at risk, harm or abandon

Two counts of accessory after the fact of a felony.

Myron Robert Chorbajian, BJU Ministerial Class of 1977 (the same year, btw, that BJU's current president was president of that Ministerial Class), has been arrested on twenty-three counts. He was pastor of the First Southern Methodist Church on Fork Shoals Road. His charges are as follows:

Three counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct with minor, ages 11-14

Three counts of incest

One count of second-degree criminal sexual conduct

Fourteen counts of placing a child at risk, harm or abandon

Two counts of second-degree assault and battery

His wife Kathleen Ruud Chorbajian faces sixteen charges.

WYFF covered the story here. The arrests took place at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.

BJU is not safe.

TL;DR: Jan Marlene Bellis Schenk, BJU Class of 1984, is not a fan of WutBJU's project, and she wants everyone to know that.

Until she doesn't.

Bless her.

Mrs. Schenk got mad about my coverage of Myron Chorbajian. Which is fine. It was the #ProofIsInTheProduct hashtag that got her, however. BJU could not be blamed, she insisted, for criminal behavior of graduates. All BJU grads would then be evil.

I tried to explain that it was a phrase that Gary Weier used in advertising BJU in 2013 arguing that BJU is "safe for families." I explained that BJU's Aura of Goodness™ makes it impervious to criticism. And that, of course, I'm not saying that all graduates are evil, but BJU does protect unsafe people. The GRACE Report proves that.

I didn't bring up the fact that white supremacists often argue that when a white guy commits a crime it's a one-off but when Black and Brown folks commit a crime it's part of their DNA.

She's essentially repeating that trope.

Whatevs.

So she combed through the WutBJU post looking for things to comment on. She commented that Dick Stratton's mom was a great person. And then she got really mad about my coverage of Ellen Weaver's f/s kid status. Really mad.

I goofed on FB and said that she lived on Stadium View Drive on campus. That was a mistake -- a three year old mistake, but a mistake. The Weavers lived at 5 Stadium Drive. It's a simple mistake, and I did make that mistake.

Jan Bellis Schenk flipped. And then she flipped again and deleted her post and the subsequent comments.

I can never understand what it is that cheezes people off so clearly. Is it that I found out when she graduated from BJU? Is that it?

So, ftr, here's the entire thread.
