Manila, Philippines (September 16, 2024) - A prominent Philippine pastor, Apolo Quiboloy, has entered a not guilty plea in court today to charges of human trafficking and sexual abuse. The allegations stem from a series of complaints filed against him by former members of his religious organization.

Apolo Quiboloy, the leader of Kingdom of Jesus Christ
, has been accused of coercing young women into sexual relationships under the guise of religious teachings. The alleged victims claim they were subjected to physical and emotional abuse, as well as forced labor.

Prosecutors have presented evidence, including testimonies from the alleged victims, to support the charges against the pastor. However, his legal team has maintained his innocence and vowed to fight the allegations.

The trial is expected to be lengthy and complex, involving numerous witnesses and expert testimony. The outcome of the case could have significant implications for the religious organization and its followers.
