“An influential evangelist preacher from the Philippines accused of sex trafficking and sexual abuse has been arrested, the interior minister said on Sunday. Apollo Quiboloy, self-proclaimed ‘owner of the universe’ and ‘appointed son of god,’ is wanted on charges of child and sexual abuse and related allegations of human trafficking. He has denied wrongdoing. … The pastor, who is in his 70s, is also on the FBI’s ‘most wanted’ list in the United States on separate charges of sex trafficking and bulk cash smuggling, over which he has also denied wrongdoing. … Quiboloy is followed by millions of people in the Philippines, where church leaders hold heavy sway in politics. He is a long-time friend of former president Rodrigo Duterte.” (09/08/24)
