Last year, the allegations of sexual abuse threatened the televangelist empire, Daystar. Daystar was accused of covering up abuse by Jonanthan and Suzy Lamb. They alleged that their daughter was purposefully walked in on while changing her bathing suit on a family vacation. These allegations were made through the feminist blogger, Julie Roys, who unscrupulously published their account, leaving out major details that led to a correction.
*Correction: Our initial report said Pete was alone in the room with Jonathan and Suzy’s daughter. Pete was holding a baby in his arms and Jonathan and Suzy’s son was on a bunk on the opposite side of the room.
Suzy and Jonathan Lamb alleged that despite their suspicion that the family member called “Pete” had molested their daughter, they went on a family vacation with them in 2021.
Joni Lamb savagely talked about her son being controlled by his wife and unfit to lead the company. She added that Suzy and Jonathan Lamb vacationed with “Pete” in 2022, despite their interpretation of the August 2021 incident. She adds that they are doing this to reputationally damage Daystar as a retaliation for being passed over.
Daystar provided an update that functions as a vindication.
Following a comprehensive investigation, Daystar learned through counsel today that Colleyville Police Department has officially closed its investigation, with no further action or charges, into allegations of abuse involving a child in the Lamb family.
The original police report filed several years ago alleged that an unidentified classmate of the child committed the alleged abuse. In November 2024, media reports surfaced, falsely accusing another Lamb family member-identified as “Pete” in the reporting of committing the alleged abuse.
Daystar fully cooperated with law enforcement’s investigation. In addition, “Pete” denied any wrongdoing, and he voluntarily agreed to be interviewed by the Colleyville Police Department. “Pete” also voluntarily sat for and passed two separate lie detector tests performed by two independent, highly experienced experts. No evidence has ever existed implicating “Pete” in any crime, and no charges are being brought against “Pete.”
The absence of any evidence of any wrongdoing by “Pete” is underscored with the closing of this investigation, which further confirms there was never any mishandling-as falsely argued by some on social media on the part of Daystar and its leadership.
As it has said from day one, Daystar Television Network takes all allegations of sexual misconduct very seriously. We grieve for and give credence to the voice of every victim of abuse. In this matter, however, there is simply no evidence that any alleged abuse was ever committed by “Pete.”Although saddened by those who were led to believe the gossip, rumors, and false accusations promulgated on social media, Daystar appreciates the love and support it has received from countless viewers and ministry partners and will continue in its mission to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ around the world.
With an actual “third party independent” investigation finding no evidence, Suzy Lamb and her husband come across as slanderers. Julie Roys peddled their false narrative because it fit her feminist agenda. But at the end of the day, this was another instance of the Me Too movement being weaponized by people seeking power or revenge.
