Pastor Royden Wood, profiled here, was found guilty on charges that he sexually assaulted women from his congregation. Wood was nicknamed the “Dirty Deacon” because of his previous convictions and his odd sexual behavior.
The complainants described a host of sexual activities with their pastor, often under the guise of chiropractic treatments and creative marriage counselling to make them better wives.
Wood testified that he didn't have sex with any of the five complainants and they all had motives to hurt him.

Just because a banker commits fraud, do we cut out the banking system?
No.
So, we ought not cut out Christianity, because some preacher is a fraud.
