John Perry, a prolific author who co-wrote two books with former Arkansas governor and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee and co-wrote one with Alabama Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore, was accused of child molestation in two separate lawsuits, BuzzFeed News has found.
A 2012 police investigation of Perrys alleged offenses found that the allegations of sexual battery were sustained but that the statute of limitations had expired.
Perry co-wrote Do the Right Thing: Inside the Movement Thats Bringing Common Sense Back to America about Huckabees 2008 presidential campaign. He also did research and writing for Huckabees 2007 book Character Is the Issue, a memoir of his early time as governor. Perry also co-wrote So Help Me God, Moores autobiographical account of fighting to keep a monument to the Ten Commandments at Alabamas Supreme Court.
Those books are just a few of the titles produced with Perrys help: He wrote For Faith & Family: Changing America by Strengthening the Family with Richard Land, the president of Southern Evangelical Seminary, a book with former Southern Baptist Convention president James T. Draper, as well as a book with Frank Page, the president and CEO of the Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee. Perry even co-authored The Vow, the book made into a feature film starring Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum. Perry also lists writing two books for prominent pastor John F. MacArthur on his website.
