Austin emailed Joseph on March 25, while Joseph was behind bars at the Washington County Detention Center in Arkansas following allegations he molested a 9-year-old girl in Florida.<\/p>\n

In the email, Austin tells Joseph … “I want you to know that I love you! Jesus loves you, and continues to draw you closer to Him. I don’t want to discuss your issues over these communications. You need to only be talking to your attorney. Please know that God works despite the sin of man for his good. I am praising God that we started getting closer to you guys within the last year and a half. He knew that Kendra was going to need help. We will, and are helping her!”<\/p>\n
