Pastor TD McNutt, a pastor in West Palm Beach, Florida, was reportedly arrested after his young nephew reported injuries, specifically cuts and bruises, at school. Subsequently, Pastor TD McNutt and his nephew went live, and the child issued multiple apologies for the claims. But now the footage reportedly sparked renewed CPS interest.
What did Pastor TD McNutt allegedly do to his nephew? And were the child’s apologies voluntary or coerced?
Now, The Shade Room’s Justin Carter is getting to the bottom of things on ‘TSR Investigates.’
What Happened With Pastor TD McNutt & His Nephew?
According to Carter, Pastor TD McNutt is the leader of Transformation Empowerment Worship Center. In December 2025, he was reportedly arrested for allegedly abusing his 16-year-old live-in nephew. Then, last week, McNutt sparked more confusion when he went live alongside his nephew, alleging that his nephew “spun” things “out of proportion and did a whole bunch of damage.”
Per the December 2025 police report, the 16-year-old had bruises on his back, buttocks, and legs. Furthermore, it was reported that a November 2025 incident left him with a busted lip and bloody nose. This, from allegedly being smacked in the face for not washing dishes “correctly.” Per the report, the 16-year-old’s mom was allegedly aware of the injuries. However, the 16-year-old did not want his additional bruises to be reported, as he believed he would be beaten again.
More Details
Per Carter, McNutt was ultimately arrested and charged with cruelty toward a child and abuse without bodily harm. However, Carter reports that the charges “never stuck” because McNutt’s nephew declined to testify.

This, while ordering the child to repeatedly apologize to the public. Lastly, clips show how social media users have weighed in with their thoughts on it all. This, as reports allege the boy has been removed from the pastor’s care.
