Heartbreaking on every level. Let’s not throw the rest of the team under the bus without some further clarification.
Except Jared admitted in an email to the victim THEY ALL KNEW. He told them and said they were all reading the email exchange where the victim confronted him and he admitted it. They chose to stay and remain silent for the money. It's a for profit business owned by Jared so even if he if on camera he makes money.
@@reneeb.8351 Yeah but he was literally saying they were the actions of a 12yr old boy instead of the truth that he was 19
@@ereynoldful3974 but if they read the emails like he said they did, they would have seen the victims clarification of the age and the fact he wasn't telling the truth so no, they don't get a pass on that. Plus one of the ex team members just went on a live and said that Jarod had told them a while back about this but gave a watered down version but admitted to it. So they've known for a while!! (Allegedly) 😑
@coconut grove he ADMITTED to it in company emails to the victim. That's how she was able to finally get charges.
There was always something off with this guy. I accredited it to narcissism but clearly its something else. I see no comments on his video posted today so I am sure he is deleting comments left and right.
This is not going to "open up investigations" against other members of AWP. That's not not good to suggest that one man's deeds 30 years ago extends to anyone else who dove with him. That's just crazy talk.
Yep. They should not have said that. It’s like adding unnecessary accusations and is just not truthful at all
Yeaah they are speaing about it like they couldnt google it. Sensationalizing and exagerating. It was done 30 years ago by a teen and his 9 year old cousin and she happens to come out right when he makes some money. I dont like it smells fishy. He wasnt even but 16 at the time.
In the email he confesses he SAYS the other AWP people knew & where ok with it
Let me edit this for clarity he does this to gas light his victim
@@stevendunn6774 “wasnt but 16” don’t try to downplay what he did, she was 9 you freaking creep
Edit: he was 17. Almost a legal adult. You should be on a watchlist.
Yes but too many people jump to the wrong conclusions & would crucify the crew. I’m in shock about this, they’re an amazing group that helps grieving families.
The ultimate goal of Adventures with a Purpose is not under scrutiny. They're an amazing organization and just because one the the founders is being ACCUSED of something that happened 30 YEARS AGO WHEN HE WAS 16 should have ZERO bearing on the missions and results of that company.
AWP is solely owned by Jared Leisik, a former member of it came out and said Jared was only interested in making money not helping people. AWP cannot continue, any donations will go to Jared.
That’s so true, sorry to say! He’s just money hungry, and cares only about himself!
The child was 9
@@sandrafarmer5351 If that was true , then tell me why , are some of the missing persons searches are not even on video ? ,
It could be 50 years ago. If he did it, he’s disgusting.
What on earth? Hold a whole team accountable for someone’s alleged actions 30 years ago when he was 17? That makes zero sense
Why would anyone wait that long to report it.. seems odd..
@@BubbaBearsGirl he admitted it. The victim was nine when it happened, please tell me how you would process such a traumatic situation happening to you at such an age.
Yes but wait 30 years? To mention it. Wait until he gets popular to say anything.
@@BubbaBearsGirl Exactly! He shouldn’t have to face any charges for goin deep in a 9 year old, it’s too late for that! These little girls need to learn to speak up! It do t matter if they are scared or whatever!
@@KahlessTheUnforgettable YOU ARE A SICKO
Sorry when you are 16 or 17 and doing this to family members as young as 9…you know it’s WRONG !
💯💯💯 these guys knew too. Think... the indictment came months ago and started by cousin emailing awp email address...
@@conservativehippie9736 she came forward as a victim on the subreddit related to the channel and presented the proof there too
@@Lilith-Rose what is the proof? How old was the alleged victim?
@@robintodd2448
The victim was 9 years old when it happened .
There are emails where he admitted he did it ..
@@elizabethlacky6068 thank you for the information. Unfortunately this happens a lot more often than we want to think. Is it true that he was raised in the LDS church? We have this happen here in Missouri with the Amish community. Of course it does happens outside of those communities also.
Finding missing ppl does not redeem Jared for the vile acts he did to children
It doesn’t redeem him but it doesn’t change that those families have answers.
We are talking 1992... How old was Jared even then? 16?
allegedly
Sounds like he has been convicted already.....
@@amandasummers7881 look up his cousin and sister speak out on him. it's all out there
I was just about to watch AWP only to find this video instead, it’s heartbreaking to see this. I really hope the rest of the team will be ok
Holy crap…
I hope the poor child will be ok
@@devorah935 shes in her 30s now but yes hopefully she gets some kind of justice
@@Unknown_Number In her 40s , ,,, If she got true justice , she would be the one in jail . TC & CL are doing this to get money, and would tell lies to get it . CL got caught lying about this case , and now is in legal jeopardy for lying about this case
@@Unknown_Number 🤔 She's in her 40's , and she's still committing crimes . True justice would be her , going to jail for her crimes .
I, as many others, am saddened to hear this news. AWP is an amazing organization that will continue to help families find comfort and peace while they continue to help those families find their lost loved ones. Just like with anything else, this too shall pass. Thank you AWP for what you do and will continue to do daily.
I think they will continue. Just not as AWP. That belongs to Jared along with all the equipment and donation money he can get his sick hands on.
He Prayed on those Families...plain and simple...I spotted him as Evil Long ago Do Not let him B.S. you
He is a con-artist at the highest level...and bring bad vibes to ALL REAL people doing this ...jared is
in it for the money...and his NEW 1.2 Million dollar house.....You Paid for
now AWP’s main fanbase is maliciously reporting the channels of Jared’s old workers.
I am so shocked to hear this news. I hope that Doug and the rest of the team are able to move forward with all the great work that’s been done helping families bring lost loved ones home.
If anyone is a pervert it is Doug Bishop.
While others are hoping the child and their family can heal properly , poor kid
I'm sure right after throwing up yes they will move on from this because it was just so disgusting
I hope so too,great team hope team stays doing what they been doing
11/11/22 I’m sure they will continue, but the only way for them to do that is from public support and donations to fund searches. Let’s start now by not trying case in the media, innocent until proven guilty.❤️🩹
What Adventures with Purpose do and how they have and continue to help families who are desperate for answers is awesome. What this one guy has done should not tar the others with the same brush.
It shouldn't but it will!
Disgusting humans what if it would be your daughter, grand daughter it’s his channel it should be shut down period. Let the others rebuild a the channel. He should not profit from that channel that monster.
I agree but you know…. Ppl….
Sad
If there are more victims, they may start coming out. Where there is smoke, there is usually fire
I cannot believe this, I am completely broken over this, all the good work they've done and now this comes out?!? I truly hope the rest of the team aren't affected by this because they do amazing work.
Is there any proof?
Oh, she said it, so it must be true.
@@venderstrat 30 years later.
they have no case…it’s literally all hear say….from 30 years ago. How he was even charged is disturbing
@@venderstrat Beyond him admitting it? What are you looking for exactly? Pubic hairs?
So he's been drawn, quartered and judged before he's even had his day in court!!
Actually his sister or whoever recorded a conversation about it and he clearly admits it, look it up, its on the internet
So what happened to innocent until proven guilty. Did anyone happen to think that maybe the fame of this group has brought out the desire for financial gain.
@@user-gw2em7po1y he admitted it, hello, guilty
@@user-gw2em7po1y He admitted to it on tape, so its true.
She was 9 or 10 guys, nowhere near age of consent. And there are emails where he admitted it. Also his sister has come forward too. Have to say I never liked him, had a very creepy feeling about him. I hope AWP can rebrand and keep helping families.
Most AWP members knew what Jared done!! They are all trash in my book!!
Same. Very off vibe. I just chalked it up to different personalities.
Me toooooo! Never liked him, something was always off, but I was the jerk because he was doing so much good for people. I frikkin knew it!! 😣
Emwils?
He is finished 😂
To say I’m disappointed….is an understatement.
My heart breaks for his loved-ones, as well as the victims and their loved-ones.
😢
Hmm, so he is already guilty???? I didnt realize he had his day in court yet. These are 30 year old events.
Copy Paste comment
@@rondakelly1431 gaslighting
@@rondakelly1431 As an American I find our people so pathetic. They hear a rumor and thats it. Its the truth.
It's ONE victim and two events allegedly involving that ONE victim. Apparently, they are related. He was 17 and she was 9 or 10. These alleged incidents occurred 30 years ago. He was not arrested but has a mandatory court appearance 11/30/2022.
This is so sad on so many levels. I hope this doesn't hurt the rest of the team and what they do.
Totally agree ✌️
There is no reason to start suspecting the other guys he works with just because they work together. If I understand correctly this happened years before any of these people ever met. I feel terrible for the other members of his team and their families.
I agree. The teams response was to quit instantly on the day they found out and refuse to be associated with him. It doesn't seem like there was a cover up. They all seem genuinely repulsed by him. I think some people took the statement he made in an email about showing the people in his office the exchange between the survivor and himself as a true statement, and not as a manipulative lie to try and shame her into silence.
Exactly. And the fact that they have the backing of others, including a former member, goes a long way. The former member knows what he was really like and by backing them it tells me they very likely were deceived or kept in the dark.
30 years ago he was 17, also a minor.
How that has to do with the team?
How will they even know?
@@jennymunday7913 You're 100% wrong they didn't quit instantly, some knew over 6 months before that , the email , ( and , other things ) Josh sent to Jared proves that . They were all hopping for some thing else , but it didn't happen , so that's when they left .
I’m glad you guys are covering this and giving attention. Most media outlets as of now are silent
I agree since they always showed the good show his true side! What a sicko he is
The delay in coverage is strange. Thanks for covering this sensitive situation thoroughly and accurately on your channel, Mel.👍
@@chairofbowlies I think it’s so weird a large portion of media is completely quite.
His sister came out too
@@iCkEdMeL these people on youtube are so blind to everything and do no research, I back what you guys stand for!!
It's like you are convicting him without all the evidence. So unfair.
That’s the way it is now , trial by media
They have evidence
@@Dazza_21 What evidence , her false statement , saying it happened , when he was 15 , 16 , 17 ,,,, when there is true hard facts , that show he was not even in Utah ,or Nevada , but over 600 miles away , at that time .
@@Dazza_21so why hasn’t he been arrested? No evidence that’s why
She keeps changing her story.
I will keep following the team and watching their videos..
I pray that this doesn't hurt the rest of the team. These men work hard to help bring loved ones home and I pray that us as friends and followers keep following the other guys
Their video guy, Josh Cantu has resigned from AWP. His video resignation is here on TH-cam.
If the rest of the team stays, it's clear they put cash ahead of the victims. They have other options, they could start their own channels, create a new name and a new brand but no, that isn't where the cash is.
@@snoozeflu if the team decides to stay and continue bringing loved ones back, then don't demonize them for their decision(s). JL needs to rot in prison. The rest of the members have every right to continue doing what they love under AWP.
@@snoozeflu There was a former member Kyler Rinn who posted a video stating that cash was Jareds main priority. Kyler is Sam's son and was with AWP for about 2 weeks before he left because it didn't sit right with him. Sam left shortly there after. I do believe that quite a few of the guys were doing it for the right reasons. I personally think that they should all create their own channels but continue to work together in some videos so they can continue to help these families that need it.
@@jessewithtattoos Except they can't do it under the AWP logo. That with the equipment and donation money all belongs to Jared. That skeeze ball still has the channel up.
Finally, a major media outlet is picking this up! Thank you Law and Crime!
Simmer down nutcase.
Yes, finally a major scavenger picked a story and will do a lot of harm even if Jared is found not guilty!
@@fiegenfiegen They reported on the indictment. Why does that bother you?
@@fiegenfiegen he admitted to it. Our life choices have consequences, especially if those choices have victims. Tell Jared he needs to increase your pay.
The Sun is also covering this. I'm just waiting for Fox, CBS, NBC, etc to speak out. He loved to brag so his crimes shouldn't be hidden now.
Some people have already called Jerod guilty? After hearing the evidence and the so called evidence, people are jumping to conclusions because until Jerod is proven guilty in a court of law, he is innocent.
There's another side to this story. Apparently, these girls have a history of fake R claims and extortion attempts.
Remember , innocent until proven guilty... Seems a lot of these people get accused of this type of thing once they become successful and financially well off. False accusers should suffer the exact sentence that those they falsely accused would have gotten.
Jared admitted it happened in emails
@@Dazza_21 What exactly did he admit to in the email ? And the answer is not R / SA , that's very obvious , all the true facts point to that .
I am in shock. I am beyond disappointed. For the victims and all the people who work on AWP. Good peeps. Doug, I’m so sorry
Sadly, I heard AWP members all knew all about Jared.
They’ve been deleting comments from YT and Instagram for two days. They know what he did, and they’re hiding the truth from their members. Don’t feel too bad for Doug just yet.
@@Michelle_Lynn210 I'm holding my judgment on them for now. That information came from Jared, and abusers sometimes do that to make the victim doubt themself, basically saying "all these people know and they stand by me" but it isn't necessarily true. If they did know, they may have heard a very sanitized version that downplays the crime. In fact Jared lied and said he was only 12 years old at the time in that same email where he claimed the AWP office all knew about it.
Never know about anyone you don't know well & even People you do they can have dark secrets .
@@DandyLions You are spot on. Ppl like this lie all the time to make themselves look better than they really are.
I get that people get nervous while being interviewed on video and just say stuff to fill space, but the suggestion at 7:04 that this is going to lead to "open investigations" into the other members of Adventures with Purpose and that "not all the members have these accusations" is beyond absurd and deeply irresponsible. This accused crime happened in 1992 and Adventures with Purpose was founded in 2019. There will be absolutely zero investigations into the other members based on this case.
They are turning it into a tv show. They may ignore it or say he's no longer involved but this was his baby and heck would freeze over before he let go of it. There may be a new CEO but it's just for show Jared would never just let AWP go or let someone else control his money machine. That being said they have done great things but I believe that anyone that asks the public for money or takes donations should be required to show expenses and total collections on a monthly basis. This would show the audience how they are spending the donations on & what they are spending it on. I think this is only fair. They say they don't accept rewards but they tried to sue for the $100,000 reward for Ethan Kasmerzak, took a $70,000 Grant from the government members get paid or pay themselves a average salary of between $125,000 & $145,000 dollars per member per year & and makes approximately $40,000 per month just of TH-cam. This does not include merch or donations. Their wish list on Amazon includes, 100 Giftcards for Amazon, Giftcards for whole foods, Giftcards for Chipotle and clothing. There is a petition online that was started online by AWP long time friend and associate of AWP squirrel girl to take the GoFundMe money raised for the Rodni family $75,000 and give it to AWP. AWP stated they will accept any money offered to them. These are facts I spent time researching & checking these. Decide for your selves. It's a hard stance to decide on because the do great things for family's and one man's sins are hard to weigh against the good he's done. Also it has been alleged by the victims that his crew and friends knew and were ok with what he has done as far as the children go. The emails said that the crew knew and were ok with it and him but I don't believe it. Just read the emails for yourselves.
@Rob F what are you referring to?
37ooh What would they investigate the other members for?
Yes because it’s possible they were covering for him. They have to investigate everything with charges this bad
@@haleyt3754 covering? They weren't involved with him when he did that.
Wow this shook me. I usually have a good radar for weirdos but didn't chalk him up as the worst kind of monster alive.
Same here.
This shook me up as well! A HUGE disappointment. Sin abounds.
People grow and change as humans throughout the years. Someone in their 40's can be the absolute opposite of who they were when they were in their teens. Yet it does not absolve him of his actions for which he will potentially face the justice system for.
I really hope the other members of this group keeps doing the great work of the people. We need you to continue the good works of your crew. I feel for you.
It never fails to surprise when something like this happens and makes you wonder about any personality out there.
I think the fame went to his head

@@nanwade2133 i think he’s just a sick human being that got famous because of his job. Not the other way around
@@manarmeziani857 Yeah exactly, I'm just here eating my popcorn while everyone is shocked a human being would do something.
I know I wonder why I have trouble sleeping at night
Jared has not been in videos lately and it was mentioned in a video a while back that he was exhausted and needed a break. This case is just heartbreaking. Hopefully the rest of the team will be able to move on and keep searching for lost loved ones
I really hope they can move on. Doug Bishop is really great on this show. 👏 All I have to say to Jared is did you really think no one would of brought this out to the public? All I very got to say is WTF!!! Jared.
I saw in a video that Jared said he had a lot of administrative work to do at the home office. They just got their second dive team going as well. This is Jared's company so whatever legal issues have to be dealt with, may take time. I know their main camera guy, Josh Cantu has resigned. You can look up Josh on TH-cam.
@@DragonNinja4680 sounds like Jared knew this storm was coming
Yeah, it was a bit odd when AWP had their most highly publicized recovery ever and Jared was not a part of it. I'm referring to the girl who went missing from a party and was found in her car at the bottom of the lake.
@@DragonNinja4680 Josh Cantu should make a new show.
It's crazy that this is from a 1992 incident 30 years later. I will wait for more information before coming to a conclusion.
Everyone seems to be doing a whole lot of praying for his group members and not enough for the victim. I hope whoever the survivor is of this awful man is doing okay. You did not deserve that and i'm glad its being brought to light now regardless of how much time its been. Stay strong.
Right!? Thank you
Hes not awful. You dont even know the guy who did this.
@@yee666 Very awful. Anyone who would ever do that to another human being is awful. Idc what theyre like otherwise. And id even argue that you're awful for defending him.
@@julesz6540 what facts have been shown from 20 years ago? why wait 20 years when he has a accomplishing business ? not enough FACTS out yet
Were you there? How do you know this accuser is truthful? He is doing God's work out in the world and you have no idea what happened or did not happen over 30 years ago. I hope to God you never sit on any jury.
This answers a few questions I had after observing that Jared has been off camera a lot and some one else has been named the CEO of AWP. Sounds like they were preparing to get hit with this. None the less I am sad for the victim, the AWP team and how it may ultimately effect their ability to help families.
Nonetheless is one word
@@prima808 and scrolling past my comment costs you nothing.
@ Shaun M. I just watched Josh Cantu's video resignation from AWP (Adventures with Purpose) and from what he said, the team was blind-sided with this so not sure how much they knew before Jared's arrest. If your interested to see Josh's video, he has a channel on TH-cam.
Like you, I too have noticed Jared not being on as much, but I do recall Jared mentioning in another video that with there was a lot of administrative stuff he was having to deal with on behalf of AWP at the home office. Doug has be co-leading the dive team as Jared has been training him to lead the team. They even recently started a second dive team. They have been growing their brand as the need for their services has grown. I regret this situation and yet I am thankful for what these AWP teams have done to help families get closure to the disappearance of their loved ones.
@@DragonNinja4680 I saw all of their videos. Even videos from former group members. Everyone has left. I feel so bad for all involved. I hope justice is served and those effected can start to heal.
@@DragonNinja4680 🤣there is no "office " its all lies and these poor guys have to face humiliation because of jared. It's sad 😔

I'd say 15 or 14
She was 9 there are interviews with his sister on a few channels. He also has admitted to the crimes in emails back and forth to the cousin
@@bamamarie67 well I was wondering the same thing....but....17 and 9.…that's a huge age gap even if he was technically a minor.

As a teenager, especially in your later teens, you KNOW when a child is underage!! I don't care who you are or how great the work the team you are a part of does, it will never negate violating a child like that.
It was his sister and cousin. There’s no doubt he knew how old they were. He was 17 they were 9 or 10
Ofc, I really can't stand when people start saying that "oh at 17 your brain isn't developed yet" like you're one year away from becoming an adult, in many countries you're allowed to drink at 18... you're allowed a car and a job and the freedom to choose your partners but murder and r@pe? Too young to be accountable for these apparently.... This coddling of our children and not holding them accountable for the mistakes they make will ruin the next generations and we'll see an increase in entitled people for sure...
innocent until proven guilty, we don't know if this accuser has mental problems, or is after money ( blacmail and extortion ) or is just a compulsive liar or attention seeker.
Please, Tracy! Stop making these absurd comments. Jared was 17 back then. We know nothing about the case and there has been no trial. You are accusing with no facts at all! How unfair can you be?
@@fiegenfiegen But Jared himself confirmed and admitted it all happened. Go look at any other channel for his emails to his cousin in Feb 2022 or go find sub reddit
AWP are great people for doing what they do and will hopefully continue their work but, to be fair, a lot of us knew and discussed there was something off about Jared that rubbed us the wrong way and he shouldn't be a part of the group. The guy gives major creeper vibes, especially with his long-winded speeches at families in their videos that come off as a glory grab over actual empathy. Sister and cousin deserve so much love and support.
Yeah but it's his channel so AWP is a dead channel now, they'll have to restart on their own.
Don't trust Jared.
@@luckylarry88 Hopefully, they'll be able to get funding of some sort through their fans to continue the good work. We do need groups like this to help solve cases, sadly.
STOP FKING LYING AND SPREADING BS!!!!!!!!!!
Yep 100 percent
The team must keep going !!!
That’s not how it works, he made sure that there can’t be a “team” without him. He owns everything about AWP and if they continue on with AWP than he and his wife continue to get richer. The only other one that might be getting a big cut is Doug and I could bet that he had them sign NDPs and probably one of those were you can’t “leave and compete” type of deal. I can guarantee that. He sealed everyone’s fate
@@labitcoineragt3596 i mean- Sam left AWP and is doing his own thing right now
I had originally really liked AWP, but I unsubscribed after the video where Jared recorded a phone conversation with a police officer who was anything but nice to him and the team. He refused their help, and he was getting death threats, and Jared outright refused to take down the video even though the officer's family was also receiving death threats. It just felt wrong, and it rubbed me the wrong way bc they were supposedly just trying to bring closure to the families and working WITH law enforcement. Idt that it was that particular officer who refused their help. They have their own dive experts and a chain of command with protocols and procedures in place. A lot of law enforcement agencies were willing to work with them, and they still had to get approval. Jared was quoting freedom of speech rights, and in that moment, I felt like he wasn't who he was pretending to be. I hope the sick pos rots in prison
WOW ! may be you should ask Judy and the family what they think of Jeremy Parks , maybe go watch the video , he was very rude on the video , and showed his true colors that day on video . The only reason , he was being nice is because he wanted something , and sure was NOT nice to the family when they wanted something for 8 months . With over 50,000 comments on that video , over 99.99% of the comments would disagree with you . Many of the Sheriffs / LEOs said in the comments would've fired Jeremy Parks on the spot , with no ifs ands or buts . ,, You obviously are very clueless if you think that's how Jeremy Parks / LEOs should act like he did in the video .
I knew he was a shady person when he didn’t want to share proceeds from the merch with Sam… that had Sams face on the merch. But dang. Guess you really can’t trust anyone.
Edit: that’s why Sam had to leave.
That wasn't the only reason Sam left! Sam was sickened by Jared's interaction with the grieving families. He also hated Jared acting like the couldn't afford a coffee and yet actually making a ton of cash. Not many people got to see the statements from Jared and Doug about Sam but they were vile. Jared basically called Sam a nobody, said Sam wasn't owed any pay because he wasn't part of a team because it was Jared's company. Sam wanted it to be a charity not a money making thing. Doug was as bad. Sam left social media altogether and now quietly helps people on his own. He is a really nice bloke. He kept his word and never trashed AWP at all. Another person who worked with them spoke up on Sam's behalf because certain AWP members were harrasing Sam.. He himself was an absolute gentleman. He was a great part of the team and the fact that Jared was so self absorbed and money hungry says a lot.
Did not hear from AWP about the lovely old guy from Watters sonar boat dying either! It was him and his wife who taught Jared what he knows.
Wonder if he knew about this too? He seems like a good guy, like he has morals. Jared…not so much
What clueless people , Sam sure got you duped bigtime in believing all of his obvious lies .
I always had a gut feeling about that guy, I always felt something was off. This is crazy man.
I swear its “easy” to say it know, but I also thought he was kind of strange. Seems like sometimes people that act the nicest are the actual scum of society
He came off as a fake to me.
@Eric X Yes, same here
I had reservations about him often. Something was off, but I did not see that one coming. Smh
My hugs and prayers to you Elle, I also suffer from migraines almost every day. I'm so glad that your husband was there. And is there.
I hope that this doesn’t damage the channel and the work of the rest of the team too much,they do so much good.
I doubt it because if you been watching hes barely on them recently …
Jared is AWP. He owns it. Hopefully the other guys go their own way, because any support for AWP is support for Jared.
Several members have already left AWP. It looks like AWP is over. Hoping the others can form new teams and continue this amazing work.
They quit. You can't eat the leader for dinner and still have the team he built feel altruistic. They have to watch out for themselves now. No good deed goes unpunished. Missing people will have to stay missing. Something tells me, if AWP hadn't been so successful, likely pulling in big money from TH-cam advertisers, this woman would never have made the accusation. I'm not judging either way on whether he did it or not. I'm saying, money is a motivator, and families have their problems.
Are you kidding me? AWP should be done since this is Jared's brand/company.
NO WAY! I just got chills. That’s absolutely disgusting. I’m so disappointed in him. & I hope he gets what he deserves. 😪
Disappointed for what? Nothing has been proven. There has been no trial. There is no guilty person or proven crime. This ist just an allegation that will have to be proven.
He was a minor in 1992. What do you think he deserves 30 years later for something he did when he was a kid? Also - He's innocent. That's ALWAYS the assumption until proven guilty in a court of law. Look up The Innocense Project for proof that an accusation doesn't mean someone is guilty.
@@calmchaos6460 yes I am
She was 9 years old, lying about age or any circumstances that would allow him to put up any defence is prosperous. Also the victim was his sister and cousin. He was 17 for the sister and 18 for the cousin. He has admitted guilt in several emails to the victims. The emails are public. All the members have quit but they are under contract and jared has put a hush order on all members so they can't say to much. They have all made videos on TH-cam. Josh Cantu and Doug bishop are the main people.

I’m very shocked at finding out about what happened with Jared. I’ve been a fan for years and I didn’t see this coming. He was always so nice and I still support the rest of the team cuz of all the great work they’ve done. Im sure everyone will be investigated and they will all come out clean
Well, I'm not shocked, he was around 15 when this happened, it wasn't yesterday. If this was recently then I'd be shocked.
@@dfiniin6820 I never heard anything
It's the accusers , that will not come out clean , in this , after what they got caught doing in this case .
30 years? How are you even supposed to prove that?
Exactly! Unless someone took pictures, the evidence (if any) would be non-existent due to degradation of DNA. Also, how does the court know that the victim wasn't influenced by a therapist or family member with sublimination, or if the victim had a very vivid dream that they misinterpreted as a repressed memory?
@@bronwentillman8385 There's evidence , that when she claims it happened , Jared was not even in Utah , or Nevada , at the time , but over 700 miles away . She told many lies , and committed crimes in this case .
@mpshotattwice3253 I was referring to any evidence pertaining to any physical contact. DNA is a great thing, but once outside it's home, it degrades. Now, if there was a dried up drop of blood somewhere, then the degradation isn't as quick, but there is some. Unless there is other proof (think "Pictures or it didn't happen!"), then proving that would be difficult and everything would just be heresay and sketchy "witnesses".
So if he is 47 years old now, he was 16 and/or 17 years old when the crimes occurred 1992? Wouldn’t that make him a minor too?
No one is asking why come forward now? More to the story.
Yes, exactly. He was a minor in 1992. As there have been no claims that he had violated anyone once he became an adult, it would appear that this allegedly happened once. It has not happened again in 30 years.
He has helped countless families as an adult, selflessly, regardless of something that may or may not have happened 30 years ago. We must allow for redemption and correction. We can't judge a person's entire life and who they are now based on something they did when they were a kid.
With 2 alleged minor family victims so far, including his own sister, apprently. Curious if there are any more alleged victims out there.
@@Savedbygracethroughfaith_7 The 2 so called victims , could both end up in jail , for the crimes , and the obvious lies , they told in this case .
I watch Adventures with a Purpose ALL the time 😭😭 How absolutely disturbing how someone can parade around as some hero while having such a dark truth to himself. I will continue to believe the best of the rest of the team until proven otherwise but this is sad to say the least.
Edit: Hey dumbasses, when I say “until proven otherwise” that means anything like covering it up or ignoring it while knowing about it. If the team DID do either of those things, it will therefore be apparent that they are not good people, thus I will no longer believe that for their sakes. How is that hard to understand?

It is only alleged at the moment. Jared should be treated alone,if he did what is alleged,it has nothing to do with the team! What the team is doing is bigger than Jared. You are condemning a man where he hasn't even been through due process. Innocent till proven guilty! If there is no conviction, this could still hurt his reputation anyway.

It's hard to come forward because as a child, you don't know better and as an adult you don't want to trouble that comes with it (especially if its family and dealing with people who don't believe you) because its hard to prove something like this when it happens so many years ago.
And sometimes you just want to move on with your life. I think what trigger the victim is seeing his success and being treated as a hero that is the final straw because I would have a hard time seeing the person who has hurt me on such a deep level being hail as something of a hero and so many people look up to him. The mentality of those who were young when hurt is seriously damaging and seeing the person responsible again hurts and trigger the bad memories.

I want to say "innocent until proven guilty in a court of law". There have been too many great people both male and female
whose reputations have been ruined by false accusations. Even if proven not guilty they still carry the stigma in our minds.😢😢
So far the only comment that has mentioned that fact.
He wrote a letter to a victim, who was his 9 year old cousin, admitting it.
Read the email exchanges, bro. That’s what is called an admission of culpability.
I said this I got attacked on Twitter. I even said I wasn’t defending him, just that he’s innocent. Since that post I saw emails between him & the victim & it’s pretty clear he did do it. The what bothers me is that the way people are portraying it is that he was an adult. He too was a minor, not that that makes it ok, just saying it didn’t happen when he was a grown man.
@@lisameyer2920 that’s what I was going to type.. I seen the court papers and the letter he wrote to his cousin on Lamont at large.. he’s already admitted to it
This is very interesting. I contacted Jared back in 2020 offering funding and contributions for his company. I sent him money and we spoke, the only concerns I had with him were that he wasn't up keeping any social media and comments were turned off. I even questioned him and said most people do this if they are hiding from the law and he ghosted me. I was merely joking but that always rubbed me so wrong and now it makes sense
Sounds like your instincts were correct (even if your comment was in jest) and his conscience was dodgy.

What about her victims ? ,.. like the 15 year old boy , she SA , when she was an adult , and had a child by him .
7 Months later and he's still on TH-cam. I love the work and closure these search teams give families but to think at the cost of his own family is sickening. The fact everyone is moving on and jumping back on his bandwagon is not surprising. He thinks by continuing his work, he will balance the scales in his favor.

This is so sad that one of the main people in this group is a monster. I hope the rest of them can continue to do good. I hope the victims get justice. No one deserves that to happen to them, and to be disowned by their family because of something horrible that’s happened to them… Disgraceful.
*was* a monster. All people make mistakes, some mistakes are worse than others and have bigger consequences. But the fact that people change and that we can learn from mistakes and that he has been able to turn his life into something much more meaningful that has helps so many people and started a movement and lit a fire in people to help their communities and help clean up the messes of this world, should absolutely mean something. And again, “alleged” matters because innocent until PROVEN guilty. We may never know what happened behind closed doors 30 years ago, it we know what has happened since then, and what his efforts have led to and been able to accomplish in recent years.

Please don’t let this deter you. Unfortunately there are terrible people in every profession. The world needs good people to help others if they can.
This can also be a lesson to society to quit putting people on a pedestal. I've seen countless comments practically worshipping these guys while we don't know them personally. It's one thing to recognize and appreciate a job well done, but quite another to aggrandize them. I've never understood that way of thinking. That kind of faulty thinking ends with painting them all with a broad brush.

You are assuming already that he is guilty! This saddens me. Whatever happened to the presumption of innocence?
He's always gave me the creeps.
I never understood how someone can be gratified in a situation where gratification isn't mutually acquired. It's infuriating how long he went without being caught. I wasn't even born when he committed the first act and only a month old when he committed the second one. No telling how many kids he violated within those 30 years.
