Sam Shetler Case: Missouri Amish ‘Counselor’ Accused of Abuse, Forced Labor, and Fraud Tonight we’re taking a hard look at the Missouri case involving Sam B. Shetler, an Amish retreat operator now facing a long list of serious criminal charges. According to court records and reporting, investigators say Shetler ran a retreat called Mercy and Truth in Cooper County, Missouri, where Amish and Mennonite residents were sent for counseling, therapy, or help — but prosecutors now allege that many were instead abused, manipulated, sexually exploited, and forced to work for free. Shetler has pleaded not guilty. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
