Sarah Set Free: 'Supergirl' Actor's Cousin Released From 'Pray the Gay Away' Facility

Sarah, the Texas teen who was thrust into the spotlight when her celebrity cousin drew fans to a GoFundMe campaign set up to help free her from a Christian boarding facility where she was sent by her parents to allegedly change her homosexuality, has been set free.

An update posted Thursday night on the GoFundMe campaign page set up to raise money for the teen's legal fees reads:

"We have an important update. We have just been informed that Sarah has been released from the facility. We don't know the details, but we believe that this page, and the willingness of you all to share Sarah's story had a great deal to do with this. We don't yet know what this means for the legal case -- we need to consult with our attorney and, when we are able, with Sarah about how or whether to continue."

The page, which garnered close to $65,000 in four days, is no longer accepting donations at this time. Extended family members involved in setting up the GoFundMe campaign plan to use the raised funds to pay for accrued legal bills. Any funds left over "will be placed in a trust for Sarah to help her with life's next steps so that she can attend college and lead a normal life being who she is and loving whom she chooses," they write.

Meanwhile, Mark Gregston, head of Heartlight Ministries (the Christian boarding facility where Sarah was being kept allegedly against her will at her parent's wishes) released his own statement regarding Sarah on his organization's website Thursday.

"Some of you may have seen recent stories about Heartlight Ministries in the media," Gregston wrote. "It is disheartening to see that this young woman has had elements of her story made widely public without her consent. The assertion that this teen was held at Heartlight Ministries against her will or that Heartlight provides treatment services for sexual identity, are categorically untrue."

Gregston's denial about his organization's mission to alter the sexual identity is in contrast to statements he previously made on a page on Heartlight's website titled "Teen Girls and Sexual Identity."

"A parent can help a daughter if she is willing to make a clean break by allowing her to live away from her current scene, with relatives at a place like Heartlight," Gregston wrote.

Those who attend Heartlight are reportedly cut off from the outside world. According to the institution's website, students are allowed only one phone call per week with their parents, which staffers can monitor and choose to end. Parents are allowed to visit only once a month, also at the staff's discretion. Staffers decide whether students can send or receive mail from people other than their parents.

Sarah's plight at Heartlight was brought into the national spotlight Sunday when her cousin, the Tony Award-nominated actor Jeremy Jordan who stars in CBS's "Supergirl" appealed to his fans on social media to help raise money for lawyers assisting in her release. Jordan's family, who set up the GoFundMe campaign thanked contributors on Thursday.

"We will update this page when we know more," they wrote. "Thank you again for your generous contributions and kind words for Sarah. We look forward to when we are able to speak to Sarah and share with her all the incredible and inspiring words that you and others have written to her during this traumatic time."
