Ft Worth Pastor Darrell Wayne Blair Charged on Allegations of Sexual Assault of Teen Girl

Ft Worth Pastor Darrell Wayne Blair Charged on Allegations of Sexual Assault of Teen Girl

Just another day and another pastor accused of sexual crimes against children. This case declares the pastor has allegedly been able to cover the sins he committed but today, the victim says 'no more'.
Darrell Wayne Blair is the pastor at New Breed Christian Center in Fort Worth, Texas was arrested Monday and booked into the Crowley Jail, on charges of sexual assault.

According to a Crowley Police report, a warrant was issued for his arrest on Monday morning and around 4 p.m. By Monday afternoon Blair turned himself into police where he was arrested and booked into jail.

Pastor Blair immediately posted out on a $25,000 bond and was released.

According the the police report, one of the alleged incidents took place in May 2000 at a residence in Crowley. The New Breed Christian Church pastor in Fort Worth is being charged from allegations stemming from a sexual assault in 2000 when the woman was 18.

The woman, who is now 30 years old, told Crowley police on August 21 about the alleged abuse which she says began in 1996 when she was 14 and ended in 2000 when she was 18 years old. She told authorities she kept quiet about the abuse stating she "did not want to report the incident until now due to Darrell owning a gun and she was in fear of retaliation."

Authorities have said there is no statute of limitations in sexual assault cases, so Pastor Blair will most likely face the court with the allegations.

Some the the allegations are detailed as:

The report states that Blair allegedly entered the victim's bedroom when she was asleep, woke her up and allegedly assaulted her.

On another occasion, the report states the teenage girl was allegedly assaulted in a vehicle, and allegedly assaulted a third time in a home.

On the last incident, the woman went over to the Crowley residence to clean it and Blair was there. He is accused of performing a sex act while she was on the floor and told police that Blair told her that she owed him that because it was his birthday, reports state.

According to the report, the victim confided in a person at the time of the alleged assaults, and police were able to find that person, and the person "had intimate knowledge of [redacted] and the sexual abuse she suffered." This person she considered a friend, advised her to keep quiet about what had happened though she originally wanted to report in at that time in 2000.


On Blair's the church's website, Blair is considered an anointed minister and also gospel-recording artist. He was formerly a member and lead singer of Kirk Family and the Family. and he founded New Breed Christian Church with his wife LaTonja. LaTonja Blair is a minister at the church as well.
From our side of things and many may agree, the pastor has a few strikes against him to start with. Let's go down the list according to how we see it:

1. We know people will think this is shallow but the pastor and his wife, in our opinion, don't appear to be very holy. We have to think about it: If you were serious about God, could you really follow these two? Discernment must be used, people. Our spirits didn't lead us to think of the purest coming from them.
2. The pastor was a member of new age gospel group Kirk Franklin and the Family. This brought up red flags everywhere. We know people love them some Kirk Franklin; we think because he was fun and radical but many people agree with us that Kirk Franklin took the gospel and its purest form and threw it out of the window. Quite frankly, it was made out to be a joke and this is how we see the pastor and his wife. (Revised)
3. Also, what's up with their photo above? Why does it appear that all they seem to be publicizing is her breasts? If this is suppose to display a godly image of them, then they are certainly missing the mark. (Revised)
4. We watched a few videos of them preaching and singing and we are wondering: Where is the anointing? People follow church leaders like this but are they truly getting fed the word of God from a proven vessel? According to number 1, 2 and 3, this sums it up.

So, we are happy that the victim came forward and if the pastor committed these crimes, he should be punished for them. We don't rejoice when pastors get accused or found out, but the victims need justice. No church leader deserves to be an undercover predator and get away with it. God always brings the dirty deeds to life.

Michigan Church Youth Minister Arrested On Sex Charges

Michigan Church Youth Minister Arrested On Sex Charges

A youth minister at Holy Trinity Catholic Church is expected to receive third degree criminal sexual conduct charges involving a young female.

Matthew Abid, 30, the youth minister, is expected to be formally charged Monday while he faces the judge in his first hearing.

According to police records, there was a warrant for his arrest on September 7, 2012 for the sex charges. The Kent County Jail confirms he was arrested Friday.

The Catholic Diocese of Grand Rapids says Abid had a sexual encounter with a teenage girl and released from his duties in August.

"He’s been working there since 2009, he was a youth minister, part time, leading youth programs for kids and teens affiliated with Holy Trinity Church," said Carl Apple, Director Of Communications for the Catholic Diocese Of Grand Rapids.

Apple explained there are training and requirements needed for obtaining a position like this at a church.

"There have been a lot of changes made in the last 10 years in the Catholic Church, he had to go through a nationally recognized program called protecting God's children, he had to sign an understanding of ministerial guidelines," Apple stated.

According to the Kent County Sheriff's Department the girl was not an active member of the church, but attended a weekly youth group there.

The relationship started in the fall of 2011, when she was 15 and continued after she turned 16.

Police are not sure if there are any other victims at this time.

New Hampshire Pastor Arrested After Being Caught with a Prostitute Sting

New Hampshire Pastor Arrested After Being Caught with a Prostitute Sting

A Christian pastor in New Hampshire has been arrested after being caught with a prostitute.

Robert Oliver is the pastor of a new Christian church, the Plymouth Brethren Assembly, in New Hampshire. Its only been two weeks since its opening and Oliver was arrested after an undercover cop caught a prostitute getting into his car.

According to the Union Leader, the police report states that the officers followed the car to a parking lot, where the prostitute entered in the back seat of the vehicle. The police then arrested Oliver who was caught by surprise.

Pastor Oliver recently moved from Canada where he was the pastor of a church to the states with his wife. They stated the move was from God and that He wanted them to come here to start a new church.

Well, it appears it doesn't matter where this pastor would have ended up. He fell for the temptation of sleeping with a prostitute after he stated God moved him there to preach. We wonder what kinds of things went on in Canada as well.

Craig Lamar Davis May Be Charged in Clayton and Fulton Counties on HIV Reckless Behavior

Craig Lamar Davis May Be Charged in Clayton and Fulton Counties on HIV Reckless Behavior

There are two metro Atlanta women have accused a Clayton County man of exposing them to HIV.

Police say Craig Lamar Davis may have exposed an Atlanta woman and a Union City woman to the potentially deadly virus. One of the women says she has tested positive for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. As the law states, it is illegal in Georgia to knowingly expose someone to HIV. Davis may be charged in other counties as well in the future.

Craig Lamar Davis is out on bond in both cases and awaiting the completion of grand jury investigations in Fulton and Clayton counties, which could take months. Through his attorney Davis denies some of the charges.

Local Atlanta newspaper interviewed with Davis’ attorney show that Davis, 41, met the Union City woman online on a social networking site. That woman claimed Davis is a married man and has stated he is a pastor, but that account has not been confirmed. In fact, Davis denies through his attorney that he is a pastor.

AJC.com reported:

Davis was arrested in mid-July by Atlanta police, said John Turner, his attorney. The Union City woman told authorities that Davis had sex with her four times before telling her he was infected, according to a report filed with the Clayton police. Authorities discovered Davis was wanted in Fulton on a similar offense.

In that case, the Fulton woman alleges she had been celibate for 15 years before engaging in a sexual relationship with Davis, Turner said. Police records show she said she tested positive for the HIV virus in January and filed a police report in April, a month before Davis allegedly began a sexual relationship with the Union City woman.

Davis is charged with reckless-HIV, a felony that carries a sentence of one to 10 years. Reckless-HIV charges are rare, authorities said.

Davis' attorney John Turner said:

“There’s a lot of factual inaccuracies,” Turner said, noting that Davis told him he never had sex with the Union City woman and “that’s what we intend to prove in court.”

For your information, here's Georgia's law on reckless behavior:

Georgia Code - Crimes and Offenses - Title 16, Section 16-5-60

(a) Any term used in this Code section and defined in Code Section 31-22-9.1 shall have the meaning provided for such term in Code Section 31-22-9.1.

(b) A person who causes bodily harm to or endangers the bodily safety of another person by consciously disregarding a substantial and unjustifiable risk that his act or omission will cause harm or endanger the safety of the other person and the disregard constitutes a gross deviation from the standard of care which a reasonable person would exercise in the situation is guilty of a misdemeanor.

(1) Knowingly engages in sexual intercourse or performs or submits to any sexual act involving the sex organs of one person and the mouth or anus of another person and the HIV infected person does not disclose to the other person the fact of that infected persońs being an HIV infected person prior to that intercourse or sexual act;..
