SOURCE: CARIBBEAN LOOPNEWS- A 63-year-old pastor has been arrested and charged with multiple offences related to inappropriate contact with a minor.

Lawrence Turnbull was taken into custody on Friday, February 28, by the department’s Criminal Investigation Bureau.

He faces charges of child abuse, unlawful sexual contact in the second degree, obscene internet contact with a minor, harassment, and disturbance of the peace.

According to the  police, “A minor reported to law enforcement that over the past six years, her pastor Mr. Turnbull, fostered a relationship with her, presenting himself as a mentor and father figure; however Mr. Turnbull’s intentions were not genuine.

He exploited her trust by engaging in inappropriate physical contact with her, despite her attempts to avoid him.”

Investigators report that the minor provided evidence in which Turnbull allegedly acknowledged his involvement in unwelcome sexual contact and continued to pursue her even after she expressed disinterest.

Bail has been set at $60,000.

    Are you okay? Did you read the caption? WOW!
    We as humans are flawed beings. In our quest to be followers of Christ, our flesh is weak and many times we lose our self control.
    The good thing is God is always willing to forgive us.
    I trust that the young lady will be able to access the mental support she needs.
    Justice will be served in light of this unfortunate situation.

  4. PREACHING SECULAR GOSPEL: …SPIRITUAL GOSPEL

    That which shall first be given due regard, is the ‘…PASTORS RIGHT TO PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE.’

    ***

    That which has been alleged, it seems the ‘PASTOR,’ may have been confused with:

    (a) ‘…SPIRITUALITY: and

    (b) …SECULARITY.’

    ***

    CONFUSING:

    That which always seemed ‘…CONFUSING’ to the mind, are these:

    (i) ‘…Thou shall ‘…YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION: then

    (ii) …Some people are told, to get rid of ‘…TEMPTATION,’ is to ‘YIELD’ to it.

    ***
    THEN IS WHEN TROUBLE ALWAYS BEGINS.

    FOLLOW THE ‘…SPIRITUAL GOSPEL,’ PASTOR.

    IT HAS BEEN THE SAME WITH THE ‘…LORD’S ANGEL.’

    ***

    TOUCH NOT:

    LIKENED TO THE ‘…LORD’S ANGELS,’ TOUCH NOT THE LORD’S ANNOINTED.

    ***
