COGIC Chronicles: Bishop Charles Brown Victims Speak Out

If you remember the story from last year, Bishop Charles Brown was accused of a sexual crime against a teen girl nearly 25 years ago.

The woman, now in her thirties, said at the time Brown was her aunt's boyfriend, and the acts occurred at his home.

She told police Brown recently reached out and asked to "friend" her on Facebook.  She told him she knew him to be an abuser and decided then to go to the police, the affidavit said.

Pastor Sharon Daugherty’s Victory Christian Center Staffers May Face Charges For Not Reporting Sexual Abuse

(Photo courtesy of TulsaChurches.net) We just reported this week that Victory Christian Center in Tulsa has been questioned by the local police into how they handled accusations of sexual assault at their church. It was reported they interviewed victims and suspects, fired subsequent suspects and notified parents and police two weeks later.

Well, it appears there was seemingly a cover up for a sex scandal that would have riddled the church. This is exactly what the church did, according to reports. Now, days later, staffers at Victory Christian Center may be charged with misdemeanors in the case.

Read report below from KRMG:

Five staffers at Victory Christian Center face charges of failure to report child abuse, a misdemeanor, after they apparently knew about the reported rape of a 13-year-old girl as well as other sexual improprieties by VCC employees but failed to tell police for more than two weeks.

Seattle Church Musician Tim Dampier Plead Guilty to 22 Counts of Sexual Molestation on Boys | AT2W

Seattle Church Musician Tim Dampier Plead Guilty to 22 Counts of Sexual Molestation on Boys

In May 2011, Pastor R.L. Manaway of Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church set up a meeting between an adult male member of his church and minister and church musician Tim Dampier. The church member accused Dampier of molestation the October before. Pastor Manaway took it upon himself to have the two discuss the issue instead of going to police. By law, the state of Washington does not mandate clergy to report sexual abuse to the local authorities.

Court documents stated during the meeting, Dampier reportedly admitted that "playful" touching occurred but denied molestation.

After Dampier was arrested last week, investigators say he finally admitted to molesting that victim named Kenny M. and several other boys.

TBN’s Paul Crouch Sr. Wrote Deathbed Declaration?

TBN’s Paul Crouch Sr. Wrote Deathbed Declaration?

We have to ask you once again: Who really follows people like this? We may be redundant in our query but really, would any of us in our right minds send one red cent (old school term for 'a dime') of our hard earned money to a women who looks like this? It all seems like a big joke at the circus and they have been laughing all the way to the bank for years now. Just saying... Enough said.

Now, as peculiar as the photo looks and not sure why she needs to make such an expression while holding a handwritten note, but it is apparently a part of some handing over of the network to their son, Matt Crouch.

Read the report below from the OC Register:

A photograph entered into the court record of what appears to be Jan Crouch, her head tossed back in ecstasy, showing off a letter that is alleged to have been written by her husband, Paul, on what was assumed to be his deathbed.
