Pastor Caught on Camera Breaking Into Victim’s Home

This week, former Thomas Road Baptist Church (TRBC) pastor Sergio Guardia was found guilty on all three counts, including Stalking and Breaking and Entering, according to court documents. The case, which has garnered significant local attention, reveals disturbing patterns—not only in Guardia’s actions but also in TRBC’s failure to protect the victim and its continued support of the convicted abuser.

Marie Columna, the victim, courageously testified in court this week, delivering her witness statement with the support of several victims’ advocates who traveled to stand by her side.

One of the most shocking aspects of the case is that Guardia was caught on camera breaking into Columna’s home. Despite this clear evidence, TRBC failed to stand with the survivor. Instead, they treated her poorly and chose to support the convicted pastor.

This is about more than just one case; there appear to be other victims and a larger story that needs to be investigated. The way TRBC handled this is deeply concerning—not just for Columna, but for anyone who has suffered abuse within their religious institutions.

The case raises even greater concerns due to TRBC’s close ties to Liberty University, which was recently fined $14 million for its mishandling of sexual assault cases. This apparent pattern of neglect and institutional protection of abusers demands further investigation.
