Megachurch Leader Faces New Sex Trafficking Charges | JQJO

Naasón Joaquín García, leader of the Mexican megachurch La Luz del Mundo, already serving a 16-year sentence for sexual abuse, faces new federal charges in New York. A grand jury indicted García and five others on racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, alleging decades of abuse and the creation of child sexual abuse material. Authorities say the defendants exploited the church's structure and García's religious authority to victimize members, pressuring victims into silence and destroying evidence. Three co-defendants remain at large.
