Ex-'Survivor' Contestant Convicted for Taping Kids' Mouths Shut

Louisiana pastor John Raymond faces up to 40 years in prison for multiple counts of child cruelty.

John Raymond, a former 'Survivor: Thailand' contestant and Louisiana pastor, was convicted on three felony charges of cruelty to juveniles.
Raymond, who served as headmaster at Lakeside Christian School, taped students' mouths shut as a form of discipline.
In one incident, Raymond placed his hand over a 4-year-old child's mouth and nose, causing the child to go limp.
Raymond claimed he was a victim of 'cancel culture' and maintained his innocence despite the jury's quick conviction.
Sentencing is scheduled for October 23, with Raymond facing up to 40 years in prison for second-degree child cruelty.
