Daryl Powell's Abuse Trial: Riverside Church's Accountability
Update: 2025-12-22
Description
Next month, Daryl Powell, a former Riverside Hawks player, will be the first to trial over alleged sexual abuse by late coach Ernest Lorch. Powell accuses Lorch of abuse from age thirteen to eighteen, including fondling and jockstrap checks. The church denies responsibility, citing racial biases and Lorchs removal in 2002. Powell argues the church ignored Lorchs actions, forcing him to quit his scholarship. The trial will determine what evidence is presented, setting a precedent for other survivors.
