A North Carolina pastor landed himself in hot water after he said during a sermon that he would he would let a man accused of rape walk free if the woman was wearing shorts, as opposed to pants or a dress.

Pastor Bobby Leonard of Bible Baptist Tabernacle in Monroe, a suburb of Charlotte, delivered the sermon last summer, but it recently went viral after clips of the sermon were posted to X, the platform formally known as Twitter, and Instagram. He suggested to churchgoers that they go and sit in the parking lot in the outlet mall in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, and count how many women were in pants or a dress compared to how many wore shorts. He predicted that twice as many would be in shorts.
