DETAINED BY THE POLICE BISHOP OF AN ANGLICAN CHURCH FOR SEXUAL ABUSE OF CHILDREN - VENEZUELA

in #informationwar5 years ago

A new scandal splashes the Church where one of its members is involved, in this case it is the Anglican Church. A Bishop was captured in the Cabimas municipality by Cicpc officials after being accused of sexual abuse.
This Bishop was identified as Alexander Barroso, 44, of the Bethabara church, in the Tierra Negra sector, in Cabimas, who was accused of abusing at least 12 girls and four women in isolated acts. These crimes, apparently, had been committed for about 6 years.

The Third Court of Cabimas Control and the Public Ministry are in charge of the case. The arrest took place Wednesday morning at his home in the Delicias sector of the Cabimas municipality. The priest offered no resistance to the arrest. The procedure was carried out by officials of the Scientific Police for sexual abuse of minors, after one of its victims decided to tell what was happening.

The CICPC investigates if there are other victims: "We investigate the facts. An alleged victim made the complaint and we worked on the case, "said a police source.
The news was spread like gunpowder in the municipality and the entire community of inhabitants of Cabimas are impacted. Police sources said that Barroso remains in custody at the headquarters of the scientific police of Cabimas.

Alexander Barroso managed the Tierra Negra church a little over 8 years ago.
Details of how the events happened, until now have not been revealed. It is expected that in the coming hours police authorities will offer a press conference to inform more.

On the website iglesianaglicana.org Alexander Barroso Urdaneta introduces himself as bishop of the Anglican Charismatic Church of Venezuela. It is read in a synopsis: We practice a style of liturgical worship, inspired by the Book of Common Prayer, with emphasis on the sacraments of the Eucharist (Lord's Supper) and water baptism.

According to the Bible, we reject homosexual practice and the ordination of homosexuals to the priesthood and we do not celebrate "marriages" between people of the same sex. We are against abortion and in favor of monogamous heterosexual fidelity in marriage.
We teach moderation in all areas that may endanger the health, safety and reputation of those who were created in the image and likeness of God (...) Among us there is no veneration of saints proper. Our Church honors God. "

It is regrettable that the image and credibility of the church is put into question because every day new facts arise and more cases appear where the members of these entities are denounced as sexual abusers, especially in the case of children.
