“The Diocese is also committed to bringing healing to the victims of abuse and is conscious of the right to privacy of the victims and will make no further comment.

1-Where are the Legion of Christ pedophiles?

J. Paul Lennon at When a loved one is involved with the Legion of Christ or Regnum Christi Movement - 3 weeks ago

It begins with a C Now Fr. Maciel abused about one hundred of his seminarians. Could have been less but probably more. He was at it from the age of 21 -when he founded the Legion, abusing De la Isla 10-11 year old in the first ESCUELA APOSTOLICA, in Mexico City. Maciel continued on abusing seminarians, Mexicans, Spanish such as Fernandez Amenabar and Irish such as Michael Caheny. Dont have info on Americans. Would not be unusual as Maciel was insatiable and sought variety Will continue later -after I vomit...

DURHAM -- An Ajax man has been charged after a woman was sexually assaulted during church-related counselling, including exorcisms, police said.    

Toronto police said that between May of 2011 and May of 2013 the suspect, a pastor at the United Spiritual Baptist Church on Midland Avenue in Scarborough, exploited a woman to whom he provided spiritual counselling. The sessions included performing exorcisms, police said.    

It’s alleged that during the sessions the woman was sexually assaulted. The suspect also convinced the woman to give him money and property, police said.    

Wayne Marlon Jones, 53, of Ajax is charged with sexual assault and three counts of fraud over $5,000.    

Mr. Jones is identified on the United Spiritual Baptist Church website as “Bishop Wayne Jones”. A biography on the site said Mr. Jones was born in Trinidad and Tobago and immigrated to Canada in 1984. The site says he was ordained as a minister in 1987 and the following year “pastured” his own congregation, called the Mt. Ararat Spiritual Baptist Church. He was consecrated as a Bishop in 1990, the site says.    

According to the website the church’s services include baptisms, weddings, Bible studies, programs for first-time offenders and Sunday services. There is no mention of exorcisms.    

The church is described as a “non-profit charitable organization whose main goal is to promote Christianity”.

A woman who answered a phone number listed on the site Wednesday refused to comment.    

Mr. Jones was charged with the offences he now faces in late August of 2014, but police said Wednesday they are concerned there may be more victims.    

Call police at 416-808-1400 or Crime Stoppers at 416-222-8477.
