KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) A southwestern Missouri pastor is pleading for money to help the owners of a former girls reform school who are facing dozens of criminal counts accusing them of abuse.
The Rev. Jerry Pyle, of Bible Baptist Church of Vernon County, sent a letter earlier this month to supporters of Circle of Hope Girls Ranch and its owners, Boyd and Stephanie Householder, asking for money to fund their legal defense, the Kansas City Star reported.
The Householders began attending Pyle’s church last year, before the ranch was shut down. Boyd Householder faces nearly 80 charges, including statutory rape. His wife has been charged with 22 counts, most involving child abuse or neglect. Both have pleaded not guilty and are expected to appear for a preliminary hearing on Thursday.

Missouri s legislative session ends Friday at 6 p.m., and several bills passed this week are now awaiting Gov. Mike Parson s signature.
Missouri Senators passed a bill to block local police from enforcing federal gun laws. The GOP-led House now faces the Friday deadline in order for the legislation to be sent to the governor.
The measure would penalize local police agencies if their officers enforce federal gun laws, resulting in a possible $50,000 fine for every violation.
Republican backers say they re motivated by the possibility of new federal gun restrictions under Democratic President Joe Biden and the Democratic-led U.S. House of Representatives.
