MANILA, Philippines – Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KJC) founder Apollo Quiboloy allegedly assured his teenaged sexual abuse victims that they remain “pure” and “intact” because of they got intimate with “God’s spirit.”
“Hindi ko alam kung paano ko sasabihin dito na ang sinasabi di umano, pagkatapos gamitin di umano, ni Pastor Quiboloy itong mga bata, ang sinasabi sa kanila ay they are still pure, intact pa rin yung kanilang pagkababae dahil ang nakipagtalik sa kanila ay espiritu ng Diyos,” Philippine National Police Spokesperson Col. Jean Fajardo Fajardo said in a press conference, citing the testimonies of another batch of purported victims.
