杀人后自称基督徒上诉 多伦多华裔男逃过遣返 一名多伦多华人男子陈某，由于犯下误杀罪面临遣返，但是他在遣返前风险评估过程中，自称是基督徒，以担心回国后遭到来自政府的迫害和死者家人的报复上诉，并被法官接受。现在，他的案子被发回移民官处重申，暂时躲过了遣返。据联邦法院官网公布的消息，陈某原籍中国福建省，在2007年11月份的时候，由继母（step－Mother）担保移民加拿大。2010年，时年18岁的陈某在多伦多市中心的一家酒吧里斗殴，打伤了一名20岁的华人男子朱某。朱某于次日不治身亡，而陈某闻讯后投案自首，并被警方控以误杀（manslaughter）的罪名。 2012年1月，法庭判决陈某误杀罪名成立，判以五年的监禁。由于陈某一直没有入籍，而且刑事犯罪并判刑六个月以上，所以他的永久居民身份被剥夺。同年11月，他收到了政府发来的驱逐令。 按照《移民与难民保护法》规定，因刑事犯罪被驱逐的人是不能上诉的，但是陈某申请了遣返前风险评估，这让让他没有立刻被遣返回中国。 陈某提出了三条不应被遣返的理由： 一、他是一名浸信派的基督徒，回国后会遭到政府的迫害。 二、受害人朱某的家人都在国内，陈回去后可能会遭到报复。 三、尽管陈已就误杀罪在加拿大服过刑，但是中国政府可能会根据该国法律重新控告他，而他则有可能因此再度坐牢。 不过，这三条理由并没有被移民官所接受。在2015年8月，陈的风险评估申请被拒。于是，他立刻向联邦法院提出上诉。 主审此案的联邦法官认为，移民官在估量遣返风险的时候，并没有考虑到他是基督徒这一因素。 该法官表示，有证据显示在陈的家乡福建，基督徒遭到包括：拘留、搜查、恐吓等迫害和骚扰，甚至被关进监狱和强制劳改。可移民官在写风险评估报告的时候，并没有提到这一点。 因此，法官裁定另一名移民官重申遣返前风险评估，而陈某也得以暂时逃过遣返的命运。 http://info.51.ca/news/canada/2016-11/473652.html | |||||

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Two Roman Catholic priests have been arrested on suspicion of sexually and physically abusing at least eight children at a school for youths with hearing disabilities, Argentine authorities say. The priests are Nicolas Corradi, 82, and Horacio Corbacho, 55. Three other men who worked at the school in northeastern Argentina were also arrested this week. The suspects have not yet commented publicly about the allegations. The government of Mendoza province has suspended classes at the Antonio Provolo Institute, the school for children with hearing impairment. It has also banned faculty and staff from having any contact with students. The Mendoza archbishop's office expressed solidarity with the victims and said it is cooperating with authorities. The abuse allegations surfaced after a complaint by provincial lawmaker Daniela Garcia, who spoke to a witness through an interpreter. "It was the first way so that other witnesses and victims could then come forward and denounce what was happening," Garcia said Wednesday. Authorities are taking testimony from students as well as parents who suspect their children were subjected by the accused to oral sex, fondling and sexual intercourse over the past decade, Fabricio Sidoti, the investigating prosecutor told local radio. http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/ ... e-arrests.html?_r=0 | |||||
By Luis Andres Henao and Nicole Winfield | AP December 1 at 5:25 PM BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Advocates for clerical sex abuse victims expressed outrage Thursday that a priest accused of sexually abusing deaf children in Italy wasn’t sanctioned by the Vatican and allegedly went on to abuse children in Pope Francis’ native Argentina. Argentine police arrested the priest, 82-year old Nicola Corradi, this week. Corradi, priest Horacio Corbacho, 55, and three other men are accused of abusing at least eight children at a school for youths with hearing disabilities in northwestern Mendoza province. BishopAccountability.org, an online resource about clerical abuse, reported that Italian survivor groups told the Vatican in 2008 and 2014 about Corradi and others accused of molesting children at a school for the deaf in Verona. “Words fail. It is appalling and heartbreaking that Corradi was not stopped by Pope Francis or by other Church authorities. Corradi’s presence at the school in Mendoza was no secret,” said Anne Barrett Doyle, co-director of BishopAccountability. “Thanks to the Church’s inaction, Corradi appears to have been able to replicate exactly the grotesque situation he enjoyed in Verona - a ring of child molesters in charge of utterly defenseless children who could neither hear nor speak. If the allegations are true, the Pope must accept responsibility for the unimaginable suffering of these new victims.” The government of Mendoza province temporarily suspended classes at Antonio Provolo Institute, the school for children with hearing impairment. It also banned faculty and staff from having any contact with students. The abuse allegations surfaced after a complaint by provincial lawmaker Daniela Garcia, who spoke to a witness through an interpreter. Authorities are taking testimony from students as well as parents who suspect their children were subjected by the accused to oral sex, fondling and sexual intercourse over the past decade, said Fabricio Sidoti, the investigating prosecutor. The Mendoza archbishop’s office has expressed solidarity with the victims and said it is cooperating with authorities. Carlos Lombardi, an attorney who specializes in canon law, has blamed church officials in Mendoza province. Lombardi, who also advises a group of survivors of clerical sex abuse, told local TV this week that he suspects Mendoza Archbishop Carlos Maria Franzini and his predecessor, Jose Maria Arancibia, knew that Corradi had been accused of sexually abusing children in Italy. He also argued they must have been aware of the abuse that Corradi is accused of committing in Argentina. ___ Associated Press writer Luis Andres Henao reported this story in Buenos Aires and AP writer Nicole Winfield reported from Rome.

HAGATNA, Guam — Another former altar boy and Boy Scout has alleged he was sexually abused from 1969 to 1973 by former island priest Louis Brouillard. The accuser said the priest was never formally disciplined by the Archdiocese of Agana or the Catholic Church, even decades after the priest told Bishop Apollinaris Baumgartner and other clergy on Guam. Baumgartner was bishop of Guam from 1945 to 1970. Brouillard was ordained a priest on Guam in 1948 and was here until 1981. Norman J.D. Aguon, now 56, said he was between the ages of 13 and 17 when Brouillard repeatedly sexually molested and abused him.Aguon is now a resident of Milwaukie, Oregon. He lived in Malojloj during his childhood years, and served as an altar boy at the San Isidro Catholic Church in the village. Brouillard was a priest at the church and also a scoutmaster for the Guam chapter of the Boy Scouts of America.Attorney David Lujan filed the complaint on behalf of Aguon Wednesday afternoon, bringing to 11 the number of lawsuits filed so far against Guam Catholic priests and the Archdiocese of Agana. Lujan said on Thursday there will be more lawsuits filed. The lawsuits are possible after Gov. Eddie Calvo signed a law on Sept. 23, lifting the civil statute of limitations for those accused of abusing children, as well as the institutions that supported them. Brouillard, now 95 and living in Minnesota, has admitted to sexually abusing at least 20 minors on Guam. The latest complaint says Brouillard would walk around naked during meetings with altar boys at the Carmelite Monastery Convent in Malojloj. It alleges that while watching movies at the convent, Brouillard squeezed next to Aguon, and started to molest and masturbate him. The complaint says Brouillard did the same with other altar boys in Aguon’s presence. “This happened on numerous occasions,” the complaint states. Over a four-year period, the complaint says, Brouillard sought and obtained the permission of Aguon’s parents for him to spend the night at the convent, where Brouillard sexually molested and abused him. The complaint states Brouillard would take about a dozen boys, including Aguon, to go hiking, camping and swimming as part of Boy Scout activities. Brouillard routinely insisted Aguon and the others swim naked and, during these activities, Brouillard sexually molested and abused Aguon, the complaint says. “Despite the prolonged and egregious sexual abuse, spanning a period of several decades, neither the Agana Archdiocese nor the Roman Catholic Church ever formally disciplined Brouillard and in fact have paid and continued to pay up through present time, sums of money to Brouillard on a regular basis, ostensibly under the guise of a retirement stipend,” the complaint states. The complaint demands a jury trial and seeks an unspecified amount of damages for child sexual abuse, negligence, negligent supervision, negligent hiring and retention, and breach of fiduciary duty/confidential relationship. The Archdiocese of Agana has offered prayers to all victims of clergy sexual abuse. http://www.usatoday.com/story/ne ... oday-newstopstories | |||||
A retired Ottawa priest, who has admitted he suffered from a powerful attraction to adolescents as a young cleric, appeared in court Friday on historical sexual assault charges. Rev. Barry McGrory, 82, faces two counts of gross indecency and two counts of indecent assault in connection with offences alleged to have occurred in the late 1960s. The charges are based on the Criminal Code as it existed at that time. McGrory, who now lives in Toronto, was released on a $10,000 bond and ordered not to communicate with the victim, or take work that would put him in a position of trust with anyone under the age of 16. His case was remanded to December. Outside court, McGrory, dressed in a blue blazer and grey pants, refused to tell reporters how he intended to plead in the case, saying: “It’s none of your business.”Ottawa police said Friday investigators are concerned there could be more potential victims out there. The man newly alleging he was victimized by McGrory was 15 years old at the time of the alleged crimes. He lodged a complaint with Ottawa police in September — three months after the Citizen revealed the story of McGrory’s disturbing sexual misdeeds while pastor of the Holy Cross Parish in the 1970s and 80s. Special report: Priest admits to sexual abuse for first time in Citizen interview The new charges against McGrory stem from incidents alleged to have happened before the four sex-abuse cases described by this newspaper. Colleen Passard, who was a young teen when she was manipulated and abused by McGrory in the mid-70s, said Friday the historic nature of the charges suggest that church officials might have prevented “lifelong trauma” had they only acted in his case. “As I’ve said all along, the Catholic diocese has been aware since (McGrory) was a seminarian that he had psycho-sexual issues,” she said. “If they had acted it the first place, it would have saved so much pain and suffering.” Passard said she was relieved that McGrory will finally have to face a judge. None of the allegations McGrory was charged with Friday has been proven in court. In the late 1960s, McGrory was working at the Major Seminary of Ottawa and at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish on Alta Vista Drive. In 1974, he was named pastor of the Holy Cross Parish, where he became a high-profile peace and social justice activist. He remained at the church until 1986. Earlier this year, he admitted in an interview that he was then a sex addict and abused three young parishioners at the Holy Cross. He said then-archbishop Joseph-Aurèle Plourde knew he had sexual problems but did not send him for treatment despite his pleas. McGrory was moved out of town, appointed president of an organization that aided remote Catholic missions in Canada. Four years later, in 1991, McGrory was charged with sexually assaulting a 17-year-old indigenous boy. He was convicted of that crime and handed a suspended sentence and three years’ probation. The Archdiocese of Ottawa subsequently settled out of court with two of McGrory’s victims at Holy Cross. One of them was paid $300,000 in one of the largest clergy sex-abuse settlements negotiated by the diocese. Another Ottawa victim is now suing for $1.5 million. McGrory previously told the Citizen that, as a young priest, he suffered from a sexual disorder from which he has since been cured. “There was this terrible dark side that I had to confront — and I just didn’t handle it well,” he said at the time. McGrory said he was healed of his sex addiction and his attraction to adolescents after “surrendering” himself to God following the humiliation of his 1991 arrest. In Toronto, he belongs to a group called Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous, which employs a 12-step program similar to that pioneered by Alcoholics Anonymous. It has helped him, he said, remain celibate for more than two decades. Other possible victims of the priest have already contacted police. In late July, four people wrote to Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau through their lawyer, Rob Talach, alleging they had been victimized by McGrory. They all volunteered evidence against him. “I can put an officer in contact with all four of these alleged victims, or alternatively, I can direct them to contact a specific assigned officer,” Talach wrote in the letter, obtained by the Citizen. “All we require is some guidance on how to get their evidence into the hands of police.” However, for reasons that are not yet clear, neither Talach nor any of the four were contacted by investigators. One of those people, an Ottawa woman who has asked to remain anonymous, said she has “waited a long time” to face McGrory in court. “I’m ready to go forward,” she said Friday. The Archdiocese of Ottawa said in a news release it was “deeply saddened” by McGrory’s arrest and would co-operate fully with any ongoing investigation. A diocesan spokesman, Deacon Gilles Ouellette, noted that McGrory’s right to present himself as a Catholic priest was removed more than 20 years ago. McGrory remains an official member of the priesthood, however, and has never been defrocked by the Vatican. Ottawa born and raised, McGrory holds a PhD in theology from Thomas Aquinas University in Rome. http://ottawacitizen.com/news/lo ... ical-sexual-assault | |||||
In a lesson to lecherous pastors, a Kikuyu court has given a life sentence to a pastor who lied that he would pray for a mentally ill girl but raped her five years ago. Patrick Alikula also attempted to rape the mother. Principal magistrate Daniel Musyoka on Wednesday added two 10-year jail terms for touching the 10-year-old girl’s private parts and attempting to rape her mother. Musyoka said the sentences will run concurrently, serving as a lesson to any cleric who exploits or plans to exploit anyone, especially vulnerable people. “It’s better he be a lesson to any other person who claims such acts cleanse or change people’s conditions,” Musyoka said. The crime was committed in Gikuni village, Kabete, on August 8, 2011. The court heard that the Kangemi-based Holy Canaan Church cleric told the mother he would make a sacrifice and pray for her daughter until she heals. The prosecution said the mother was sent to buy anointing oil, but as she ran to the shop, the accused raped the girl and waited naked for the mother to return. When she returned with the oil, he attempted to rape her. The pastor then told the woman he had had sex with the daughter to cleanse her and had to have sex with her as well to seal the cleansing. The double rape were supposed to help the girl heal mentally. When the mother raised an alarm, he threatened her. A mob arrested Alikula and threatened to set him ablaze before he was handed over to the police. The court rejected Alikula’s plea for mitigation, saying it took it five years to try him. At one point he jumped bail and went into hiding in the Western region. Alikula pleaded that his church members were awaiting him and his wife and six children need him. But the court stood its ground. The case is one of a number in which clerics have sexually exploited their trusting parishioners. http://www.the-star.co.ke/news/2 ... ics-lesson_c1465872 | |||||

【大紀元2016年11月07日訊】（大紀元記者聞天墨爾本編譯報導）墨爾本一所天主教中學涉嫌通過虛假培訓項目從維州政府領取培訓津貼，涉案金額高達500萬澳元。該校目前正在接受維州註冊和學歷管理委員會（Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority，簡稱VRQA）的調查。據《時代報》報導，位於丹德農（Dandenong）的St John’s Regional College中學涉嫌提供虛假烹飪培訓，向從未接受培訓的學生頒發烹飪資格證書，從而領取政府津貼。許多被調查到的學生並不曾接受過烹飪培訓，一些學生是成年移民，他們已在海外學習過，只是希望在這裡快速獲得澳洲資格證書。 VRQA正在調查St John’s Regional College中學的烹飪培訓項目，該烹飪項目是該校註冊的培訓項目。維州天主教教育理事會（Catholic Education Commission of Victoria）和維州教育廳也在進行聯合調查。審計人員已獲得了該中學的檔案和備忘錄，試圖查清數百萬澳元的來龍去脈。 這是維州第一所學校涉嫌如此巨額的醜聞。墨爾本天主教教育理事會對此非常敏感，因為理事會曾經自豪地宣稱政府資金不會被盜用。 St John’s Regional College中學由當地牧師負責規範管理。當虛假培訓項目在9月份被曝光後，管理層解僱了前校長Andrew Walsh和財務經理Mark Siwek。 《時代報》並不認為這兩個人涉嫌參與虛假培訓醜聞。學校說Walsh突然離職是「因為一系列原因，包括家庭健康原因造成的」。據悉，當被要求辭職時，Walsh感到沮喪和震驚，他在這所學校已擔任8年校長。 St John’s Regional College中學地處弱勢地區，近半數的學生沒有英語背景。從虛假培訓項目獲得的資金並沒有用於學生身上，並且資金去向不明。 在該學校正規註冊的學生已得到正規教育，但有些人擔憂正規學生們的資質將會受到虛假培訓醜聞的不利影響。 聯邦政府My School網站顯示，St John’s Regional College中學的其它收入從2012年的64.2746萬澳元猛增到2013年590萬澳元。2014年，該校從其它渠道獲得了510萬澳元。 VRQA負責人Lynn Glover說，VRQA在接到投訴後才開始對St John’s Regional College中學進行調查，目前調查正在進行，不適合做任何評論。 據悉，VRQA在2014年進行審計時就發現該校有一項「違規」行為，但仍然決定繼續為其培訓項目註冊至2019年4月份。VRQA以涉及隱私為理由拒絕提供審計報告。 維州教育廳一名發言人說，St John’s Regional College中學與維州政府簽署了合同，在2011年至2015年期間提供政府資助的培訓項目，但該校沒能獲得2016年之後的培訓合同。發言人沒有透露這所天主教中學到底獲得了多大金額的維州培訓保證金（Victorian Training Guarantee），以及有多少學生註冊了烹飪培訓項目，因為這涉及商業秘密。 維州政府今年向非公立學校提供的資助高達6.76億澳元。今年早些時候公布的一份總審計長報告說，沒有甚麼證據顯示這些資金使用不當。 http://www.epochtimes.com/b5/16/11/7/n8466655.htm | |||||
（中央社記者劉世怡台北20日電）牧師紀福讚被控在美期間，疑因妻子與男教友發生婚外情，持斧頭砍殺男教友致死，服刑19年4月後遣返台灣。紀男返國後仍須受法律制裁，台北地檢署今天依殺人罪將他起訴。 紀男在美國加州服刑期間，以台語文寫作並出書，內容指他在精神近分裂的情況下，犯了滔天大禍，也藉著寫書方式訴說心底永遠的虧歉等語。檢方指出，紀男原本是美國洛杉磯某教會主任牧師，民國80年間得知教會余姓教友與妻子及女教友有婚外情。 紀男於80年7月3日晚間前往余男工作的牙醫診所，找余男理論，要求余男離開教會，兩人因此發生爭執，余男用椅子推向紀男，紀男竟持斧頭砍殺對方頭部及身體等21處，導致被害人死亡；紀男行凶後打電話報警處理。 美方法院以二級謀殺罪名判紀男入獄服刑，他於服刑19年4月後於去年6月14日假釋出獄，遭驅逐出境遣返台灣。 檢方表示，依中華民國刑法，認定紀男涉犯殺人罪，依刑法第5及第7條，中華民國國民於境外犯罪，其最輕本刑3年以上之罪者，在國外執行後，返國仍須接受法律制裁。 全案於今天偵結，檢方依殺人罪將紀男起訴，不過，若他遭判刑確定，依刑法第9條規定，已在國外服刑部分，回國後得抵銷其刑的全部或部分執行。 https://tw.mobi.yahoo.com/news/% ... 8%B4-122513308.html | |||||
【大紀元2016年02月25日訊】台灣多位企業CEO（執行長）和紐西蘭、澳洲2國駐臺代表，2月25日晚間參與基督教救世軍舉辦的「一夜街友」活動，在飯店會議室中打地鋪、裹睡袋，呼籲各界關注臺灣街友的處境。臺灣諾華藥廠總經理艾思同（Mike Exton）表示，他希望明年不是在大飯店模擬，而是真正在戶外環境餐風露宿，他一定會繼續參加。 「CEO一夜街友活動」 藉此讓企業、機構和受幫助者互相連結 據中央社報導，艾思同說，每一個街友都有自己的故事，如果不是親身體驗，難以感受他們的處境。長期投入街友服務的基督教救世軍表示，「CEO一夜街友活動」，選在新北市深坑區4星級飯店「假日酒店」的會議室舉行，「CEO有社會責任，讓他們體驗街友生活，更瞭解街友的辛苦」，包括企業及駐臺外館負責人等12人參加。 基督教救世軍臺灣軍區表示，過去不少單位都曾捐獻幫助街友，例如讓街友學習自立更生的手工、廚房訓練、街頭導遊等，這次也會邀曾受幫助的街友現身分享心得，也希望藉此讓企業、機構和受幫助者互相連結。 主辦單位安排體驗者圍坐圓桌，吃遊民中心提供的便當，菜色包括洋蔥炒蛋、培根玉米和一隻雞腿。晚間睡覺時，室內溫度將調低到攝氏7度，模擬臺灣冬季，唯一能遮擋寒冷的，僅僅是幾片厚紙板，以及一件薄睡袋。 基督教救世軍臺灣區總指揮、上校葛若珍（Jennifer Groves）表示，活動的目的是「透過自身的不舒適，喚起社會關注，希望街友能得到更舒適的環境。」 澳洲辦事處代表雷家琪（Catherine Raper）表示，她首次參與這樣的活動，動機是最近在臺南市歷經幾10年來最寒冷的1天，看到街友睡在火車站附近隧道內，幾名志工送上睡袋給街友，被志工善舉感動，想略盡棉薄之力，讓大家正視街友情形。 雷家琪表示，透過參與街友體驗，希望能更瞭解街友的處境和需求，也鼓勵更多人關注。她認為最大的挑戰從晚上10時開始，屆時燈光將關閉、溫度調低，大家得睡在地板上，手機還會被拿走保管，「漫漫長夜」恐怕相當難熬。 紐西蘭商工辦事處代表范希蕾（Sialei Van Toor）也說，希望透過「一夜街友」活動，讓更多人關注遊民議題。她幽默地說，原以為場地會更差，但今天看了覺得「還不錯（not bad）」，唯一擔心的是晚上有人打呼。她也向主辦單位道歉，因為脖子有舊傷，所以帶了自己的枕頭。 范希蕾強調，以駐臺代表身份參加聲援街友活動，不是為了凸顯臺灣政府在街友照顧上做得不夠好，而是希望透過這個全球性慈善活動，讓民眾重視街友權益，並幫助街友募集款項度過寒冬。 http://www.epochtimes.com/b5/16/2/26/n4648500.htm | |||||
The Catholic Church has defrocked a priest for having a "long-term inappropriate sexual relationship" with a woman, in what is believed to be an Australian first. Key points: Catholic Church makes public apology to Jennifer Herrick over "inappropriate sexual relationship" with priest Ms Herrick waged seven-year battle against church over "toxic" relationship Father Thomas Knowles defrocked, church to pay confidential settlement The church has also publicly apologised to the female parishioner involved, Jennifer Herrick. The apology is the culmination of a seven-year legal battle Ms Herrick has waged against the church over the "toxic" relationship she had with Father Thomas Knowles. On Friday, her civil damages claim against the church will be formally settled in the NSW Supreme Court and Ms Herrick hopes her victory will inspire other women who have been exploited by priests to come forward. Ms Herrick was a shy, 19-year-old with hip dysplasia, which caused her to walk with an abnormal gait, when she first met Father Knowles. He cultivated a close relationship with her at the church, Our Lady of Dolours, in Chatswood, in what her psychologists would later describe as "grooming". When she was 22, Father Knowles instigated a sexual relationship with her. Ms Herrick says Father Knowles repeatedly exploited her vulnerability as a disabled and sexually naive parishioner over a 14-year period. Do you know more about this story?

"I wouldn't want it to be interpreted in the sense of two people of equal standing in a mature heterosexual relationship, because that's not what it was," Ms Herrick told the ABC. "I don't believe for a minute that the hierarchy of religious orders or the diocese had any grasp of what abuse of positional power really does to parishioners." Court case unnecessarily drawn out Ms Herrick remained silent until 2011, when she complained to the Blessed Sacrament Fathers Order. She was then referred to the Church's internal "Towards Healing" program. "I'm not sure what it was towards but it wasn't healing and I'm certainly not alone in that experience," Ms Herrick said. "And it was due to the failure of that process that I ended up going to the civil courts which is not something I wanted to do or did lightly but the Towards Healing process is very much on church terms. It's not an independent process and whilst I was treated with respect, I wasn't treated with empathy or understanding." Father Knowles was initially stood down, but was then reinstated. Ms Herrick says the court process was unnecessarily drawn out. "Their conduct has been to delay, procrastinate, make things as difficult as possible. In the end, they asked to mediate but I found the process was an endless round of delays." On Friday, her case will finally come to an end, with the church agreeing to pay her a confidential settlement. Part of the agreement involved a public apology to Ms Herrick, which was made on Sunday during a church service in Victoria. "For them to publicly recognise the pain and suffering, which were the words that the provincial used in the apology, it helps me know that they are aware that it can affect someone who's over 18 and it will also hopefully encourage other women who've been similarly affected, who are over 18 to come forward and bring their stories forward and seek similar apologies from their respective diocese or orders in the church," she said. Ms Herrick hopes her case will raise awareness of what she believes is the widespread exploitation of vulnerable women by priests. "Hopefully this will be the beginning, just like what happened with child abuse, which has only really come to solid light in the last couple of decades," she said. "I'm guessing that this will be the same, so when I'm nearing the end of my life, I might be able to look back and see that there's been a momentum of change and I can know that I was part of that instigation. But I think it's going to take a long time, I really do." http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016- ... elationship/8100782 | |||||
A former Air Force chaplain who had just completed 90 days in rehab left the center and immediately killed his adult daughter, scrawled messages against his estranged wife inside the family home and then turned his weapon on himself, police said. Daniel Randall, 56, and Claire Randall, 27, were found dead inside the Hebron, Maine, house Thursday. A neighbor checking up on the home assumed the blood on the porch was a leftover Halloween decoration — until he saw the words “vow breaker” spray-painted on the kitchen counter, the Press Herald reported. “Anita, it’s all your fault,” was also painted on a wall, a reference to Randall’s wife, who had served him divorce papers earlier this week, police said. Teen accused of youth rehab murder says he woke up 'heartless' Claire Randall had recently moved from Rhode Island to stay with her step-mother and teenage brother, neither of whom was at home at the time of the shootings, police said. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4_qfih6IYM Daniel Randall was found dead with his daughter Claire, 27, after an apparent murder suicide in Hebron, Maine.

He moved to Arizona with his two daughters — Claire and Molly — where he met his second wife, Anita. The newlyweds and the girls moved back to the East Coast, where Daniel Randall joined a new congregation in New Hampshire. The couple had a son in 2001 and a year later, the pastor joined the Air Force reserves as a chaplain, the newspaper reported. Between 2009 and 2012, he worked as a pastor at Rhode Island’s Roger Williams University, and oversaw a congregation in the college town until 2015, when he resigned without explanation. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ ... r-article-1.2905994 | |||||
Two church pastors have been arrested for rape – one in Cape Town and the other in Butterworth in the Eastern Cape, police said on Saturday. A 32-year-old pastor was arrested in Cape Town for the alleged rape of a 16-year-old congregation member, Western Cape police spokesman Captain FC van Wyk said. The victim was allegedly taken to the pastor’s residence “under the pretence of praying for her” on Wednesday morning. “While instructing the victim to undress to apply oil to her body, the pastor [allegedly] pushed her unto his bed and raped her. The victim reported the matter to the South African Police Service (SAPS) and the suspect was arrested,” Van Wyk said. The pastor is expected to appear in court soon. In the second case, a 43-year-old Zion Christian Church (ZCC) pastor was arrested for rape on Friday afternoon, Eastern Cape SAPS spokesman Captain Jackson Manatha said. “It is alleged that the suspect took an 18-year-old woman to wash her under the bridge on Wednesday 7 December… as she was ill. The suspect was with the victim only and after washing her with traditional medicine, he allegedly touched her private parts. “It is alleged that the pastor drove with the victim back to her home. On the same date at about 4.30pm he fetched the victim and drove with her to a certain shack at Ibika township, Butterworth, where she was told to take off her clothes. The pastor also took off his clothes. The victim was instructed to lie on the bed. She was then allegedly raped by the suspect.” The pastor later drove the victim to her home, where she told her sister about the rape. A case of rape was registered at Msobomvu police station and the pastor was charged. He would appear in the Butterworth Magistrate’s Court on Monday, Manatha said. http://citizen.co.za/news/news-n ... tors-arrested-rape/ |
