COGIC Chronicles: Bishop Charles Brown Victims Speak Out
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.
