Child Rapist and Preacher Michael Charles Campbell Faces 60 years for Sex Assault on Girl
Reports say 48-year-old Volusia County minister, Michael Charles Campbell faces six decades in prison time after a jury convicted him of raping a little girl nearly six years ago.
Rev. Campbell of DeLand faces as much as 60 years in prison. The State Attorney's Office said he was convicted Thursday on charges of sexual battery and engaging in sexual conduct with a minor 12 to 18 years of age, the State Attorney's Office said.
Prosecutors say Campbell lured the girl to a motel for sex. Apparently he was able to do so by promising her help with her modeling career in a 'skit'.
The former Daytona Beach funeral home worker attacked the girl when she was 12 and 13.
As strange as this may sound, he picked the girl up in a hearse with a body inside after telling her father he wanted her to do some work at the funeral home, back in Dec. 2006.
Reports say:
They delivered a body to Daytona Beach International Airport and as they drove away, he told the girl that she might have to take her clothes off for the skit.This sick man needs to be locked up for a long time because he is a master manipulator. We can't imagine him using a hearse with a body in the rear of it, in order to sexual assault a young girl. We pray the girl received the help she needed to move forward.
The girl said he told her he "might have to take a look at you first" and pulled the hearse off the roadway. She said she exposed herself.
Then they drove to a motel, where the girl said Campbell taught her how to put a condom on and kissed and fondled her.
They spent several hours in the room and afterwards, Campbell gave her $44, the girl told police.
In December 2007, the girl was taken to a motel for another "skit," but that time she tried to resist, even though Campbell told her "it was how Brittany Spears and Beyonce got their start."
