Arkansas Pastor Arrested for Child Abuse Charges

Two pastors in the United States have recently been arrested on serious charges involving sexual abuse. In Sonora, Mexico, David 'N', a pastor from the International Life Ministry, faces charges of aggravated indecent abuse and sexual abuse against women in his congregation, with allegations dating back to 2015. Meanwhile, in Delight, Arkansas, James Vincent Henry, 43, has been charged with 100 counts of possession and distribution of child sexual abuse materials following an investigation by state police, which was initiated based on tips from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. Henry was arrested on October 14, 2024, after digital evidence was collected from a search warrant executed on September 25. Both cases highlight the troubling issue of sexual misconduct within religious institutions, raising concerns over the safety of congregants. Authorities continue to investigate both situations as they proceed through the legal system.
