'Holiest Man Alive' Guilty of Abusing Boys.
A 70-year-old former Christian missionary with deep ties to the Assemblies of God’s college outreach program pleaded guilty Thursday to a felony charge involving the SA of multiple boys and received a 30-year prison sentence with no chance of parole.
Daniel Savala, who once led Bible studies and mentored young men through the Chi Alpha campus ministry at places like Sam Houston State University, entered the plea in McLennan County court via video link from jail, according to reports from KWTX.
He was charged with continuous trafficking of persons which covers a pattern of explicit exploitation over time involving several victims. Prosecutors said the case centered in part on incidents in Houston, including one in 2021 where two boys ages 11 and 12 were taken to Savala’s home by their father, a pastor connected to the same ministry. Court records reviewed by multiple outlets show Savala instructed the boys to undress in a backyard sauna and then abused them while the father was present.
McLennan County District Attorney Josh Tetens told reporters after the hearing that the sentence means Savala “will never see the light of day again,” and that it represents justice in the case.
Savala had already been convicted once before. Back in 2012 in Alaska, he pleaded guilty to one count of SA of a minor after facing 11 charges tied to his time as a youth minister in the 1990s. He served just 90 days under a plea deal.
