MANILA, Philippines – Two Ukrainian women, both former members of the Davao-based Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC), have come forward, alleging that they were sexually abused by controversial doomsday preacher Apollo Quiboloy.
In video recordings played at the beginning of an investigation into KOJC’s activities and alleged abuses by the Senate committee on women, children, family relations, and gender equality on Tuesday, January 23, the women identified only as Sofia and Nina, claimed that they were raped by Quiboloy while serving as his “pastorals.”
In the KOJC, pastorals are women who serve as close aides of Quiboloy, with some allegedly being turned into “spiritual wives.” (READ: Quiboloy sexually abused women, minors – ex-followers, US prosecutors)
