Sgt. Brandon Wykoff, a detective in the Tulsa Police Department's Child Crisis Unit, said: "We're trying to get these girls in for interviews," Wykoff said. "We're not exactly having cooperation with some of the parents."

COGIC Chronicles: Bishop Charles Brown Victims Speak Out

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 spiritual head of a local Pentecostal denomination has been arrested and booked with sexual battery on a teenage girl more than 23 years ago. New Orleans court records show that Bishop Charles E. Brown, 58, was released on $25,000 bond yet later raised to $1 million dollar bond.

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.

(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.

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.

Pastor Craig Lamar Davis: 7 Things To Consider Before You Sleep With a Married Pastor

We have to give it to our friends over at Hicktown Press. They wrote about the story circulating the web, as we did, on the arrest of Atlanta pastor Craig Lamar Davis and his charges of spreading HIV as reckless behavior to women in and out of the church.

We just posted the story yesterday and found our friends at Hicktown Press and their thoughts on the subject. We have to say we agree 100% with their analysis. Like them, we cover stories about false prophets, pulpit pimps, sexual abuse among pastors and church children, whore-munging men and women of God all of the time. It's so easy to blame the pastor or leader of the church because they should represent the purest in our communities and not the adversary they claim to pray against!

In reality, we have to look at both sides. It takes two to tangle. The old saying is true. If we don't want to be victimized, as adults there are steps we can take to avoid some things. We aren't speaking of young children and the very vulnerable of our society. We are speaking about, in particular, women in the church who will sleep with a man of God... just because??
