LOS ANGELES — California on Wednesday charged the leader of a Mexican megachurch with child rape and human trafficking, months after a court dismissed the previous allegations because of prosecution errors.
Naasón Joaquín García, the self-proclaimed apostle of La Luz del Mundo, was charged with three dozen felony counts involving five women and girls between 2015 and 2018 in Los Angeles County.García is the spiritual leader of La Luz del Mundo, which is Spanish for “The Light Of The World.” The Guadalajara, Mexico-based evangelical Christian church was founded by his grandfather and claims 5 million followers worldwide.
Prosecutors contend that the three committed sex crimes and also produced child pornography involving church group members. In April, an appeals court ordered Los Angeles Superior Court to dismiss charges against García, ruling that his preliminary hearing was not held in a timely manner and he did not waive his right to one.

God hates religions
Those we trust the most...
Nimrods in the comments: Tax the churches. Where is your god now? Logic: Um, he was charged and released by your civilian courts. Where is your justice now?
“It’s time for judgment to begin in the house of God.”
Hope he stays in prison.
False prophets are everywhere, be careful who you follow.
Churches are used by criminals religiously.
Not everyone who claims to be a Christian, is one. Jesus said You will know them by their fruits.

Let his community handle him. They will have no tolerance
Churches. Why aren't we taxing them again?
Im not an advocate for capital punishment but I firmly believe that all child rapists should be put down immediately.
More church, more child moleststion. Goes hand in hand it seems.
