What Happened After Florida Pastor's Apology? | Shocking Backlash Uncovered

Pastor TD McNutt, a pastor from West Palm Beach, Florida, was arrested following reports of injuries on his young nephew involving cuts and bruises at school. The nephew later issued apologies for the claims during a live broadcast with McNutt.

McNutt, the leader of Transformation Empowerment Worship Center, was arrested in December 2025 for allegedly abusing his 16-year-old live-in nephew. A police report from December 2025 detailed bruises on the teenager's back, buttocks, and legs, with a prior incident in November 2025 resulting in a busted lip and bloody nose.

The allegations included physical abuse such as being smacked in the face for not washing dishes correctly. Despite the injuries, the teenager's mother was reportedly aware but did not report them. The boy expressed fear of further abuse if he reported additional bruises.

Legal Proceedings and Reactions

McNutt faced charges of cruelty towards a child and abuse without bodily harm, but these charges did not hold as his nephew refused to testify. McNutt claimed that his nephew lied about the abuse and forced him to apologize to the public multiple times.

A live video documented the boy's mother's response to the situation, while social media users shared their opinions on the matter. Reports suggest the boy has been removed from McNutt's care following the incidents.
