American paedophile priest of Pennsylvania found guilty of sexual abuse under church law

The Diocese of Scranton has found Monsignor Joseph P. Kelly guilty of the sexual abuse of two minors.

By Edward Era Barbacena 

Catholic priest Joseph P. Kelly is guilty under canon law of the sexual abuse of two minors.

The Diocese of Scranton announced the findings on Tuesday, ending a four-year disciplinary process.

Seven individuals alleged that Kelly had sexually abused them as children prior to October of 2020, the Diocese said. Kelly was placed on administrative leave at that time.

By January 2023, the diocese received an additional allegation against Kelly.

The Diocese found five of the eight allegations credible, and Bishop of Scranton Joseph C. Bambera was authorized to begin a trial process found in canon law.

The Diocese found Kelly guilty of two of those accusations. According to Tuesday's statement, Kelly could have appealed the decision, but did not do so.

"As Bishop of the Diocese of Scranton, I continue to apologize for the pain that has been inflicted upon far too many young people by leaders of our Church," Bambera said in the statement. "I thank the victims in this case for stepping forward and continue to pray daily for their healing."

Kelly is "immediately and permanently" barred from performing any priestly ministry and prohibited from wearing clerical attire or presenting himself as a priest. The Vatican authorized Bambera to impose the penalty, short of dismissing Kelly, from the "clerical state" due to his age.

 

American evangelical pastor, Randy Saylor of Michigan who was initially arrested for the rape of a child under the age of 13, has been charged with 9 more felony child sex crimes. 

Saylor's son, also a church leader, was sentenced to 5-15 yrs for raping 4 children under the age of 13

Living Word Church Associate Pastor Randy Saylor  ( another white pastor ) has been charged with three additional counts of second degree criminal sexual conduct. 

Saylor, 71, was charged with one count of second-degree criminal sexual conduct of a person under 13 and one count of second-degree CSC with a relationship during his May 22 arraignment. He was freed on a $50,000 cash/surety bond.

Saylor is the second pastor and third person involved with the church to be charged with sexual assault. Randy Saylor’s son, Brandon Saylor, a church volunteer, admitted to sexually assaulting four children under the age of 13 for a decade and was sentenced in April to five to 15 years in prison for three counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct.

On Monday, he was charged with the additional counts by Midland County District Court Magistrate Gerald Ladwig: Two counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a victim under 13 and one count of second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a relationship.

Pastor James Randolph, 58, was arrested Nov. 28 and is charged with seven felonies for crimes allegedly occurring in 2011. He is charged with two counts of first-degree CSC involving a relationship; one count of second-degree CSC with a child under 13 while Randolph was older than 17; two counts of second-degree CSC involving a relationship; one count of second-degree CSC or subsequent offense; and one count of accosting children for immoral purposes.

Living Word Church Administrator William Bailey said Living Word International Church is deeply saddened and concerned to address recent allegations of misconduct involving one of its ministers.

“There are no allegations that the abuse took place at the church or involved the church in any way,” Bailey said. “We are cooperating fully with law enforcement authorities in their investigation.

 

Organizers of Paris Olympics that featured satanic woke homosexuals says "sorry" for mocking Christianity 

By Edward Era Barbacena 

A banquet sequence featuring carnal and satanic drag artists in particular came in for criticism from Christian groups, who felt it parodied Leonardo da Vinci's painting 'The Last Supper'.

That famous 15th Century work depicts a key biblical scene.

The Catholic Church in France was among critics, saying the ceremony featured "scenes of derision and mockery of Christianity".

A US telecommunications company, C Spire, said it would be pulling its advertising around the Olympic Games after being "shocked by the mockery of the Last Supper during the opening ceremonies".

The ceremony's artistic director, Thomas Jolly, said there was no intention to "mock or denigrate anyone" and explained the scene in question was designed to reference pagan gods.

"Clearly there was never an intention to show disrespect to any religious group," Paris 2024 spokeswoman Anne Descamps told reporters on Sunday.

"On the contrary, I think Thomas Jolly did try to intend to celebrate community tolerance. We believe this ambition was achieved. If people have taken any offence, we of course are really sorry."

Jolly told French broadcaster BFM: "The idea was to do a big pagan party linked to the gods of Olympus.

"You'll never find in my work any desire to mock or denigrate anyone. I wanted a ceremony that brings people together, that reconciles, but also a ceremony that affirms our Republican values of liberty, equality and fraternity."

 

American paedophile cop of Cape Cod, Massachusetts arrested for child pornography 

The allegations against Matthew Marshall are offensive and absolutely not in line with the policies and values 

By Edward Era Barbacena 

A Cape Cod police officer who was arrested after his shift on Wednesday on child pornography charges has been relieved of duty.

Brewster Police Chief Heath J. Eldredge announced Thursday that Officer Matthew Marshall is on administrative leave pending the outcome of an ongoing internal affairs investigation.

“The allegations against Matthew Marshall are offensive and absolutely not in line with the policies and values of the Brewster Police Department,” Eldredge said in a statement. “These actions do not represent the standards of the hardworking members of the Department. Our officers stand committed to serving the community with integrity and are dedicated to building and maintaining public trust.”

Marshall is charged with possession of child pornography, dissemination of child pornography, defacement of real or personal property, unlawful communication of record information, and photos taken outside of first responder’s official duties, Cape & Islands District Attorney Robert J. Galibois said.

Marshall’s license to carry a firearm was also suspended and his service weapon has been confiscated, according to Galibois’ office.

Eldredge said Marshall was hired by the Brewster Police Department as a dispatcher in 2005 and as an officer in 2007.

Massachusetts Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission was notified of Marshall’s arrest and could take action regarding his certification to work as a police officer.

Marshall was slated to face a judge in Orleans District Court on Thursday.

 

American paedophile and baptist pastor arrested for raping 15-year-old niece

Christopher Whitehead has served as a Mount Olive Primitive Baptist pastor for two years . He also has nine children. 

By Edward Era Barbacena 

The Gainesville Police Department arrested a pastor Sunday on suspicion of raping his 15-year-old niece, who was booked into UF Health Shands Hospital for examination a day after the incident. 

Christopher Whitehead has served as a Mount Olive Primitive Baptist pastor for two years with experience in the church’s youth department. He also has nine children. 

Originally from Tallahassee, Whitehead’s 15-year-old niece and other family members visited Gainesville to celebrate the two-year anniversary of Whitehead being at the church, staying in a home attached to the church lot.

His niece asked her cousins if they could send money to her on Cash App, to which they declined. She later went into the master bedroom to ask Whitehead for money and found him lying in bed. Upon informing her he wouldn’t send her money, Whitehead asked his niece to sleep in the same bed as him, to which she said yes and grabbed her charger and melatonin, according to the arrest report. 

Whitehead put his hand on the girl’s waist as she faced away from him, and she pushed his hand away. He eventually pulled his niece closer to him and proceeded to rape her. Upon Whitehead asking her pain level, she said it was a “10” out of 10, to which he continued to rape her, according to the arrest report.

One of Whitehead’s children opened the door and his niece quickly left to “needing a drink” as a means to escape.

The 15-year-old told Dawandera Whitehead, her uncle’s wife, about the incident. In front of the victim, she confronted Christopher Whitehead, to which he asked if anything could be fixed and if he could speak with his niece privately. His wife said no.

When Whitehead and his wife were alone, he apologized for the situation and his role in putting them there. When taken into custody, he denied harming the girl.

Whitehead’s wife said she had never witnessed her husband invite a child to sleep in his bed prior to the incident during the entirety of their marriage.

Whitehead was charged with sexual assault of a minor. His priors include minor traffic violations. 

Dominique Howard-Bernard, a church-goer who serves on the Youth Usher Board, said she was distraught to hear the news. He had previously been well-perceived at the church for his “uplifting” attitude until now.

“This is very heart[breaking] as a member of the church and has me feeling crazy because he [was] supposed to be the sheep of the church and lead people to the lord,” she wrote in a text message. “He just needs to be in Hell at this point.” 

 

American paedophile priest and Archdiocese of St. Louis accused of enabling sexual abuse of children for decades

By Edward Era Barbacena 

The Archdiocese of St. Louis is facing a lawsuit filed Wednesday by 25 individuals blaming the church for enabling, covering up, and concealing children being sexually abused by employees for decades, according to court documents.

The 74-page lawsuit lists at least 30 clergy members under the archdiocese and archbishop that were known to be accused of sexual misconduct, but only released some names.

Among those named in the suit is the current Archbishop of the St. Louis Archdiocese, Mitchell Rozanski. The Archdiocese is also named as well as a John Doe.

Our partners at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that there will be an additional 35 plaintiffs to join the suit, but they have not filed as of Wednesday night.

Only the plaintiff’s initials are listed in the suit. An attorney for the plaintiffs told the Post Dispatch that it was “for their safety.”

The suit describes alleged abuse that happened as far back as 1945 but it also details more recent alleged abuse as well.

It is said that in September 2018, the church had promised to publicize the names of clergy members who had claims of sexual abuse against them but did not release the names until nearly a year later, in July 2019. There were 66 names released on the list.

It is stated in documents that, “the Archdiocese and Archbishop did not act in any manner to

protect the young children of its parishes, churches, community, and other organizations within its ambit…instead of removing the Abusers from their employ and control and reporting the abuse to authorities as required by law, Defendants enabled and emboldened Abusers to continue perpetrating horrific conduct upon Plaintiffs by giving Defendants’ employees, agents, and servants unfettered access to Plaintiffs and other children.”

According to the court records, those accused of sexual abuse were reassigned to other organizations or parishes, received treatment for a short period of time, or did not have any consequences.

In notes regarding each plaintiff’s experiences with the employees, ages ranged into mid-teens, with the youngest being six years old.

The suit states that the church was “silencing the children abused by threatening them, making them live in secret shame, fear and degradation while then ministering to them psychologically, emotionally and spiritually.”

The Archdiocese told the Post Dispatch partners that it had not yet been served with the suit and needed to review it.

A news conference is scheduled for Thursday at 1:15 p.m.

American father and evil American stepmother of Pennsylvania charged with murder of girl, 12, who was abused, tortured and starved

Autopsy revealed that Malinda Hoagland died of starvation and multiple blunt-force injuries.

By Edward Era Barbacena 

Another case of an innocent child in the United States died in the hands of evil white people and the culprits are the biological father and an evil white stepmother.

The father and stepmother of a 12-year-old girl who died after she was allegedly tortured and starved have now been charged with murder, authorities said Thursday.

Chester County District Attorney Christopher de Barrena-Sarobe announced the upgraded charges on Thursday.

The victim, Malinda Hoagland, weighed just 50 pounds at the time of her death.

Rendell Hoagland, 52, and Cindy Warren, 45, of West Caln Twp. are now charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping and hundreds of related offenses.

The two were arrested back in May and are being held without bail. The district attorney's office says it intends to pursue the death penalty.

Malinda was "reprogrammed" to accept abuse as part of her life, de Barrena-Sarobe said during a news conference on Thursday, and she didn't report the abuse because she was afraid of being beaten more severely than she already was.

The investigation has uncovered records of abuse dating back to November 2021, the D.A. said.

Despite the suffering she allegedly experienced at home, de Barrena-Sarobe said Malinda excelled at school and was awarded 'Student of the Month' by her cyber school about two months before she died.

Malinda was admitted to the hospital on May 4. Investigators say her father reported that she struck a tree while riding a bicycle at 12:30 a.m.

Investigators have said that even if that were true, it would in no way explain the extent of her injuries and emaciated state.

Malinda died while in surgery. An autopsy revealed that she died of starvation and multiple blunt-force injuries.

Approximately 75 bruises, contusions, ulcers and pressure sores were identified on her body, the D.A. said.

Investigators say evidence obtained through search warrants revealed hundreds of videos and still images on the suspects' cellphones and Blink security cameras.

According to the D.A., the videos show Malinda shackled to furniture, enduring physical abuse, and being subjected to forced stress positions and physical punishment.

She was also allegedly forced to exercise, de Barrena-Sarobe said Thursday, and that the autopsy showed she had "no sign of body fat on her."

She had damage to virtually every major organ system in her body, including her brain, de Barrena-Sarobe said.

The videos also show Malinda was often ankle-cuffed to furniture and verbally berated by the suspects through an in-camera speaker while they were not physically present.

Text messages and conversations between Hoagland and Warren show that Malinda was punished for infractions like forgetting chores or schoolwork, "stealing" food, not smiling during school sessions over Zoom, and urinating herself while cuffed to furniture, the D.A. said.

The two often texted about concealing injuries from concerned family members and mandated reporters, according to the D.A.

Malinda was removed from in-person schooling in November of 2023, the D.A. said, and school records establish that Malinda had approximately 25 unexcused absences in 2023 and an additional 10 excused absences.

After being pulled from school at the end of 2023, Malinda attended a cyber school, according to the D.A.

"There is no indication that either school failed to meet legal requirements to report abuse - in fact, there is evidence that teachers at both schools often checked in with Malinda," the D.A.'s office said
