Mega-church leader arrested for sex trafficking, rape
By Jeff Tavss - Executive Producer

LOS ANGELES - The leader of one of the largest mega-churches in the world has been arrested on multiple charges related to human sex trafficking and rape of a minor.

Joaquin Garcia is now behind bars after being charged Tuesday with human trafficking, production of child pornography, and forcible rape of a minor.

Garcia's La Luz Del Mundo has over one million followers with churches in 50 countries worldwide, including 40 in the Southern California area, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Rape happens with people of all walks of life, no doubt about it. What caught my attention is the trafficking accusation, surely meaning bringing people across the border. We just had an article on another mega-church pastor in trouble with the law. I'm not familiar with the pastor at all. I've never heard of him.

Now, I'm not even sure where I saw Arizona... but the wikipedia article on this church shows it's very different. I'm no expert in these matters, one can read it for themselves:
