What is going on with some of these religious leaders?
A Las Vegas pastor has been accused of molesting two teen boys and is facing 11 counts of sexual abuse.
57-year-old Billy Eckstine McCurdy was indicted on six counts of sexual assault and five counts of open or gross lewdness after the victims told prosecutors that he coerced them into sexual relations at his home.
The victims say the pastor used the Bible to coerce them into performing sexual favors.
Reports say McCurdy has spent quite a bit of time alone with youth, including trips to California and Arizona. He has also had sleepovers at his house. He has also allowed teens to live with him for long periods of time.
This isn’t the first time the pastor of Revival Temple Church of God in Christ has been accused of such acts. In 2005, a young boy claimed he attempted to fondle him during a sleepover, but the pastor was let free on a $3000 bond due to conflicting evidence.
