Apollo Quiboloy accused of using 'sex with the spirit of God' to justify child abuse

Accusations against Apollo Quiboloy, founder of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KJC), include claims that he used the concept of 'sex with the spirit of God' to justify sexual abuse of minors, some as young as 12 and 13 years old.

The victims were reportedly threatened with an 'angel of death' to maintain secrecy about the abuse.

During the police operation at the KJC Compound in Davao City, some alleged victims came forward, sharing that they were indoctrinated by Quiboloy's inner circle before being subjected to abuse.

Five new alleged victims reportedly told the police they were raped by Quiboloy, according to the Philippine National Police (PNP).

Senator Risa Hontiveros noted that more victims are willing to testify against Quiboloy in the Senate, inspired by Amanda, the first public victim to speak out.

According to the PNP, at least two of the rescued alleged victims are willing to testify against Quiboloy, while others remain hesitant due to the presence of their parents in the compound.

The PNP is handling the situation with care to protect the identities of the children involved.

Quiboloy has pleaded not guilty to charges of qualified human trafficking.
