Your warning came too late for Pastor Yohandry Bravo. Fortunately, the police found him 5 days ago: Macon pastor arrested on rape, child molestation charges An Atlanta police traffic stop caught a Macon pastor wanted for more than two years on charges of rape and aggravated child molestation. Yohandry Bravo, 39, was booked into the Bibb County Law Enforcement Center shortly after 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to jail records. The Atlanta officer quickly learned of the warrants during the traffic stop and took Bravo to jail in Clayton County, according to the public affairs officers with the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office. Bibb deputies drove to Clayton County to pick up Bravo, who did not face any charges in Atlanta, the officers said. Arrest warrants were signed more than two years ago for Bravo, who is charged with raping a 16-year-old girl at his house across from Smiley’s Flea Market in January 2013. At the time, Bravo had been a pastor for 17 years, according to his Facebook page, and was leading a congregation of between 200 and 250 people at Ministerio Internacional Jesús es el Señor on Hawkinsville Road. Bravo’s 15-year-old son, Jose, was killed Nov. 23, 2012, after he stepped onto Hawkinsville Road to retrieve a hat that had blown out of the car he was riding in. After Jose died, a couple of families moved in with Bravo and his family. Allegations of rape followed shortly afterward. Bravo was regularly featured in Macon Regional Crimestoppers, but he had eluded capture. http://www.macon.com/2015/05/06/3732331/macon-pastor-arrested-for- rape.html.
How would you know that Pastor Yohandry Bravo didn't find Christ before the police found him?
When it comes down to it, it doesn’t really matter if Bravo found Christ before the police found him. It matters most that the police did find him after he was on the run for two years. It is important now that a pastor of 17 years who is charged with the rape, and aggravated child molestation, of a 16-year-old girl at his house will find justice. Rape is not merely bad, it’s a very special act of evil on a qualitatively different higher level of evil when a pastor commits the act. Such a gross sin by a Christian leader cannot be regarded lightly. A pastor must be a leader who is genuinely above reproach. Anything less is an abomination.
ASHE COUNTY, N.C. — An Ashe County pastor was arrested Thursday on six sexual criminal charges, according to the Ashe County Sheriff’s Office. The Rev. Billy Howard Guy, known as Bill Guy, was arrested after a lengthy investigation. The investigation began in July 2013 and concerned a mentally-challenged person who was placed in the care of Guy and his wife, Dianne. Guy was charged with one count felony sexual offense, one count felony second- degree sexual offense and three counts of sexual battery. He was arrested Thursday and released on a secured bond. His first appearance will be Thursday. In an earlier case, Guy's wife, Dianne Guy, has been arrested on charges of multiple counts of embezzlement stemming from allegedly taking the victim's Social Security funds. Dianne Guy bonded and is awaiting trial. http://www.wsoctv.com/news/news/local/as he-co-pastor-accused-sex-offense-person-his-care/nfsJ4/
JEFFERSON COUNTY, AL (WBRC) - A 58-year-old man is accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl in a church where he was a minister, Jefferson County authorities say. Tyrone Banks, Sr., of Pleasant Grove, has been charged with rape by forcible compulsion and first degree sodomy. The rape charge is specifically for victims under the age of 15. Banks was a friend of the victim's mother, but the sheriff's office wouldn't say how they knew each other or for how long. On Saturday, April 12, the girl's mother had an event to attend and Banks offered to watch her daughter. That evening, Banks drove the girl to a church near Hueytown where he claimed he was an associate pastor. "He had a key to the church and took the victim inside to the kitchen where he sexually assaulted her," Chief Deputy Randy Christian said. He then drove her home. The victim was returned to her mother late on April 12. She told her mother about the assault and they reported it to the Pleasant Grove Police Department the next day, according to the sheriff's office. Pleasant Grove police contacted the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office about the case on April 14 since the church where the assault allegedly happened was outside of their jurisdiction. The sheriff's office has not named the church where the assault allegedly took place. Lt. Don Edge with the sheriff's office clarified that Banks was not an associate pastor, but was a minister at the church and preached there on occasion. Lt. Edge said Banks denied anything happened. He told authorities he picked up the girl and they went for a ride. Banks was arrested on May 2. He posted a $120,000 bond and was released on May 4. Deputies say this appears to be the first inappropriate contact Banks had with the girl. But when a child is abused, deputies say it's not just the physical trauma that is hard to overcome. "The sexual abuse of a child is not just bad because of the physical trauma, but there is a violation of trust. If someone you trust has violated you as a child, whether it's a person of position, a family member or a trusted friend, that trust is lost and it has the potential to stay with the child for the rest of his or her life and it's just a horrible crime on so many levels," Edge said. Banks was charged with first degree robbery in 2002 and was convicted, but the sheriff's office did not have any other details about that charge. Lt. Edge said other charges against Banks will be forthcoming in the next few days. He said the charges don't involve any other victims. He did not describe the nature of the pending charges. FOX6 attempted to speak with Banks at his residence, but he was not home. http://www.myfoxal.com/story/25431240/pleasant-grove-man-58-charged-with-raping- 13-year-old-girl
Gatlin is not on the thread to debate - he's here to smear all Christians in guilt by association.
I am not here to smear all Christians with guilt by association. I am here to show that strong cognitive biases and gross distortions predispose some individuals to readily perceive and condemn faults in a profession, while failing to perceive and condemn faults in their own. I am here to call attention to anyone that does very little to get real evidence before taking a position. And then does even less to get evidence to carefully consider opposing positions. Instead they fabricate "pseudo-evidence" by cherry picking from yellow journalism articles. I am here to say: If you take a position to only look for evidence that supports your agenda it and if you only selectively use some evidence to support your agenda….then you are a hypocrite. That is what I am here for.
GASTON COUNTY, N.C. — A Dallas minister is accused of child sex crimes. Investigators said the crimes happened 20 years ago in Brunswick County. A home security camera captured images Wednesday of police leading Joseph Hall away from his Gastonia home in handcuffs. His neighbors watched in disbelief. "I am thinking to myself, 'What in the world,'" Doug Henry said. They didn't know what he was charged with until Eyewitness News told them about the 14 counts of sex crimes with a girl as young as 12 years old, including first-degree rape. The charges are out of Brunswick County, where Hall used to live. "Joe has been a very good neighbor, very good friend. Shocked is all I can say,” Henry said. Neighbors said he and his wife would often have family and friends visit and swim in their backyard pool. "We just didn't believe it, we thought that somebody had made a mistake,” said neighbor Betty Henry. The warrants allege Hall raped a girl from 1994-99. Channel 9 spoke with Brunswick County officials on Thursday. They gave no details about Hall's relationship with the accuser or why she came forward now. "I was shocked. I would never believe that,” friend Wilson Johnson said. Hall became a minister 10 years before the first alleged offense. He is currently the men's ministry leader at Restoring Hope Foursquare Church in Dallas. His profile on the church website stated he leads a group called Men of Valor. Hall is in jail on a $1 million bond. http://www.wsoctv.com/news/news/local/dallas-minister-accused-sex-crimes- including-rape-/nf9N3/
Justice? Here in the USA? Gatlin, what have you been doing living in a cave for the last 50 years? There is no such think as justice any longer here in the good ole USA.
How very true.
Now do that for democrat members of congress, state legislatures, and other non Christians.
Portsmouth, Va. – A local minister has been charged after allegations of rape were made against him this week. Police say 39-year-old Trevon D. Boone of Chesapeake came in contact with the victim, who was under 18 at the time, when he was a minister at a local church. Boone mentored the victim and it was during that time that he allegedly forced the girl to have sex with him. Portsmouth Police say the incident happened at a home in Portsmouth between September 2012 and January 2013 when the victim was 16 or 17 years old. A warrant for rape was secured on Tuesday for Boone by Detectives with the Special Victims Unit. He turned himself in to Portsmouth Police just after 6:00 p.m. after learning about the charge. Boone currently serves as a minister at Tabernacle Baptist Outreach Center in Suffolk. The case remains under investigation. Anyone with any information in reference to the case are asked to call the Portsmouth Police Department’s Special Victim’s Unit at 757-393-8536. http://wtkr.com/2014/05/28/local-minister-charged-with-rape-turns-himself-in/
Paul Harvey once said that some people like to talk about policemen being bad, without realizing there are more bad pastors than there are bad policemen (or words to that effect). Some folks on LF go ballistic when a policeman shoots a pit bull that is charging him while he is answering a 911 call to a home. They categorize that action as “bad.” It is impossible to categorize the same action by a pastor for comparison because a pastor does not answer a 911 call to a home. So, we must pick a common ground by which we can judge both the policemen and the pastors in order to make a comparison. Thus recognizing the meanings of good and bad as otherwise used, we shall understand better their meanings as used in characterizing conduct under its values, morals and ethics aspects. I think committing a sex crime, especially rape, is more abhorrent than shooting a pit bull. I will post all the cases I can find where pastors committed sex crimes and you can post all the cases you can find where policemen committed sex crimes. Then we can look at the good, the bad….and determine who is really the ugliest. No, I will limit the comparison to policemen and pastors, thank you.
I'm not sure that can be done. A pastor should be judged by the word of God, a cop should be judged by the Constitution he or she has sworn to uphold. Now, while I know of many pastors that I tend to doubt have ever studied the word of God, I know of no police that ever read the Constitution. Most liberal pastors study commentary and other things, all, to the best of my knowledge, police study tiny bits and pieces of the law, and wouldn't know the Constitutions they have sword to uphold if it fell on their heads. So, I doubt that both Pastors and Cops can be judged by the same set of rules or standards. If every pastor was judged by the word of God, many would be in trouble, if ever cop was judged by the Constitution(s) he or she has sworn to uphold all would be in trouble.
(WREG-TV) New information is coming out about a former Arkansas pastor facing a number of sexual assault charges involving children. Larry Michael Berkley, who once was the pastor of a church in Henning, Tenn., is accused of providing kids booze drugs and porn, then sexually assaulting them, all while he was a pastor at Shiloh Baptist Church in Harrison, Arkansas. Former pastor Larry Michael Berkley was arrested at a cemetery in Covington, Tenn., Monday afternoon. He had just finished a funeral service when sheriff’s deputies, warrant in hand, took him into custody. According to police in Harrison, Arkansas the investigation into the former pastor started March 28, 2014, while Berkley was a pastor at Shiloh Baptist Church. Through mid-April, more than a dozen young male victims, all between 14 and 18 years old, were interviewed by police. One victim said he went to Berkley’s house in Harrison under the pretense it was a Bible study. Once there, he was allowed to drink, smoke marijuana and a Hookah. Several victims reported they and Berkley would walk around the house naked and, on more than one occasion, Berkley had sexual contact with them. They would also watch pornography and he even took them to a funeral home to look at a dead body. A church employee at Shiloh Baptist also reported at least $4,400 is missing from the church, money Berkley was supposed to use to make a payment on a mission trip. Two and half years ago, Berkley was senior pastor at Victory Batist Church in Henning, Tenn. He was asked to leave the church, but no one at Victory wanted to talk about the charges against Berkley or exactly why he was asked to leave Victory Baptist. Veronica Powledge lives near Victory Baptist and said she actually met Berkley once while she was out for a walk. She said the accusations are a shame. “That’s just disgusting. I just, that hurts me so bad. I just can’t believe a pastor would do that. Man, that’s something else,” said Powledge. Victory Baptist Church Pastor Obadiah Hedrick said in a statement that he is “saddened by the news of Berkley’s alleged activity and we are praying for him and healing for those involved.
What?? You mean he has an AGENDA? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!
Si vis pacem, para bellum
Here is something else that may shock you....then, it may not. PERRIS, Calif. -- A pastor in Riverside County has been arrested for rape and other sex crimes, and investigators say there may be more victims. Jerome Anthony Clay Sr., a pastor at Compassion Church in Perris, is charged with raping a person under the age of 16. Authorities did not say whether the victim was a church member. Clay, 41, was taken into custody Thursday after search warrants were served at his church and his home in the 400 block of Perris Boulevard. He is being held on $110,000 bail and is expected in court on March 17. Perris residents had mixed reactions to the news. "There was a lot of bad stuff that goes on at this church, they say it doesn't, but it does," Jordan Egbert said. Robert Arnold, who used to attend Compassion Church, said Clay was a popular figure. "He was involved with the community, the people, but what happened, I don't know," Arnold said. Authorities believe there may be other victims. Anyone with information is urged to call the Perris Police Department at (951) 210-1044.
WESTLAKE, Ohio – A pastor at a popular Westlake church is facing sex-related charges in Lorain County Common Pleas Court, according court records. Paul Endrei, 53, of Avon is charged with two counts of sexual battery and one count of gross sexual imposition. Endrei is the founding and senior pastor atChurch on the Rise on Crocker Road, according to the church's website. A grand jury indicted Endrei on Wednesday and Lorain County Sheriff's Office deputies arrested him Thursday, according to court records. He was released from Lorain County Jail Thursday after posting $50,000 bond. Details about the case have not been released. The Church on the Rise issued the following statement about the matter, and Endrei said in an email that he did not have any additional comment: "The Church on the Rise of Westlake is aware of the recent indictment by Lorain County of Pastor Paul Endrei. We pray for Pastor Paul, his wife and 5 children. We are aware that the allegations are coming from one of the children adopted by the Endrei's. We pray that this troubled adolescent receive the help and counseling she needs. "The Church believes in our legal system and that the truth will come out. To assist in that end, we are requesting that the media and press respect the privacy of Pastor Paul and his family. Church grounds are for spiritual growth and not for media or press interviews. We hope this request for privacy is respected and the press and media refrain from entering Church property. "Pastor Paul maintains his presumption of innocence and hope that all reserve judgment until all facts are properly aired in a court of law. We not only have faith in our lord but also in our system of justice. Only after both sides present their case can a judgment be made in this very serious matter. We thank all members of the church and community for their prayers and continued support." http://www.cleveland.com/westlake/index.ssf/2014/05/westlake_pastor_accused_of_se x.html
LORAIN COUNTY, Ohio — A well-known pastor, Paul Endrei, entered a not guilty plea before a judge on Thursday morning on sexual assault related charges, and his son will likely appear soon after being charged with a single count earlier this week. Jordan Endrei, 26, now faces one count of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor. All of the charges relate to a single teenage girl who was under 18 at the time of the alleged crimes. Paul Endrei is the founding pastor of the prominent Church on the Rise in Westlake, and his son is an assistant pastor. Paul Endrei faces two counts of sexual battery and has also been charged with four counts of sexual imposition regarding a juvenile. At a short arraignment in Lorain Common Pleas Court Thursday morning, Paul Endrei did not speak as his lawyer, Jack Bradley, told the judge that his client would plead not guilty. Jordan Endrei was not arraigned, but did walk out of the courthouse with his father. Bradley said at the courthouse that Paul Endrei would be speaking through him about the case, and added that the Endreis “welcome your prayers.” Later, Bradley said that the Endreis had cooperated with the Lorain County Children’s Services investigation, and that the family was “disappointed” in its results. Bradley said the charges that Paul Endrei engaged in the unlawful acts have unusual “gaps” for these types of alleged crimes – with some of the allegations stemming from around 2005, others around 2009, and still others in 2013. Bradley said he is waiting to see the evidence himself, and learn if prosecutors have any DNA evidence, or witnesses who corroborate the allegations. Last week, Jane Robertson, the interim director of Lorain County Children Services, said they were limited in what they could say, but that they were cooperating with the police in the investigation of Paul Endrei. Thursday, regarding Jordan Endrei, Robertson said they were “aware of the investigation, have cooperated with Avon police, and will continue to do so.” An email sent to church members said: “Pastor Paul and Jordan adamantly deny these troubling charges coming from one person … and are cooperating fully with investigators. We want to keep you up to date on the case and are writing to let you know that they will enter not guilty pleas at their arraignments. “We anticipate that the news media will cover the arraignment and you can expect to see news stories in print, on television and online. We will continue to be open and transparent with media covering the case going forward. However, because this is a criminal case, we have to be very careful not to say anything that could jeopardize the investigation. “These are serious charges and, as you can imagine, this is a very distressing time for all of us at the Church on the Rise. We are grateful that so many of you expressed such strong support at last Sunday’s services. We will continue to do everything we can to support Pastor Paul and his family … and we ask you to join us in prayer for a just outcome in court.” Last week, the church issued a statement on Paul Endrei’s behalf, denying the allegations, and hoping that the teenager involved receives counseling. Paul Endrei is next due in court a week from Friday. http://fox8.com/2014/06/05/second-pastor-at-westlake-church-charged/
DAVIS (CBS13) – A Davis priest has been arrested on charges that he had an inappropriate sexual relationship with a minor, Davis Police announced Saturday. Police have been investigating Fr. Hector Coria, a priest at St. James Parish in Davis, after allegations arose earlier in May that he had been sexually abusing a 17-year-old girl. Investigators found that Coria had befriended the girl while he was a priest with the Catholic Church. Investigators believe that, since late 2013, Coria had been in a sexual relationship with the girl. Friday, authorities served a warrant on Coria’s residence and arrested him on charges of statutory rape and oral copulation with a minor. “In keeping with diocesan policy, Fr. Coria has been placed on administrative leave, his faculties have been withdrawn and he may no longer publicly function as a priest while this matter is under investigation by local law enforcement and Davis Police,” wrote Kevin Eckery, spokesperson for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sacramento, in a statement on Coria’s arrest. Echoing the Davis Police Department, the Diocese of Sacramento asks anyone who may have been a victim of Coria to call authorities at (530) 747-5420. http://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2014/05/10/davis-priest-arrested-on-sexual-abuse- charges/
